Chapter 88 Shocking Secret
◎Shocking secret revealed◎
Fortunately, things went much more smoothly than Qin Shu expected.
At least until she becomes completely transparent, the lamp she got on the black market arrives.
Qin Shu still remembers the pain that felt like her soul was being burned when this thing shone on her body, but at this point, she couldn't care less. If she really became completely transparent, she could only endure the pain and communicate with others in this way.
This is also the only solution.
Also, thanks to Qin Shu's participation in resolving the Arkonian epidemic, the Interstellar Federation contacted Arkonian's top leaders to set up a teleportation cabin on Arkonian after the incident, making it easier to travel in and out of Arkonian and save time.
This kind of suggestion would probably not be accepted by a xenophobic planet like Arkansas, let alone a planet that has a good relationship with the Interstellar Federation.
After all, it's about national defense.
In addition, the current level of interstellar quantum teleportation technology is still relatively limited. Most planets are still at the stage of teleporting objects. Only a very small number of existences have mastered human teleportation. Even if the Interstellar Federation has mastered it, it has only built human teleportation cabins on the most important starships and more important planets. Moreover, due to the high cost and even higher daily maintenance costs, the teleportation cabins are not available every day. Generally, they are only open for use on the day of regular inspection and maintenance.
So, spending huge amounts of money to build teleportation cabins on other planets, which used to be a fantasy, has now become a reality because of Qin Shu.
And now——
The transmission cabin has been set up.
Whether it is the soldiers, experts and other personnel of the Interstellar Federation, or Xu Wen who was escorted to the numbered planet by the Interstellar Fleet, they can all return to Arkansas as soon as possible.
"Ms. Qin, please come here!" At this moment, a staff member who stayed at the research base hurried over, looking very anxious, completely forgetting that he didn't need to run over at all, and could just contact directly through the terminal.
"What's wrong?" Qin Shu stood up with Lu Yishen after hearing this.
"This...you will know if you come with me." The staff member seemed to want to explain, but after gesturing in the air for a long time, he didn't know how to explain. In the end, he could only say this, and then took Qin Shu and the others to the research base.
After Qin Shu saw what the staff wanted her to see, she finally understood why the staff had been unable to explain it clearly for a long time.
Because in a corner of the research base hall, which was empty just now, there was a person sitting against the wall, a familiar woman.
"That's—me?"
Yes, the woman leaning against the wall with her eyes closed was none other than Qin Shu herself.
How could her disappeared body appear here?
Qin Shu felt something was strange and rushed forward.
But when she touched that body, Qin Shu knew it was not her own body at all. Even though it looked exactly the same, even the clothes and accessories were the same.
Some details may not be noticed by others, but you are very clear about them. For example, Qin Shu remembers that there is a small mole at the base of her left hand, but there is no such mole on these two hands.
But these are not the most important things now. What is important is that when she came into contact with this body, she felt that she and this body were very compatible. It was like a container specially made for her.
"... Is it Yun Shangjun, Ma Liang and the others?" Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, then finally reacted.
"What?" Lu Yishen didn't understand.
"This body should be what they left for me." Just like they created a body for the brain before, they also left her a body. I'm afraid that the clever Yun Shangjun had figured something out at that time.
Moreover, for Yun Shangjun, hiding this thing is just a matter of setting up a barrier. Even if he disappears, the barrier he set up will not disappear immediately. It is just like the power of Lord Wuchang's soul condensation on Qin Shu, which disappears with time, so it is revealed now.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yishen moved closer: "Hmm, there is a smell... of ink, and the herbal fragrance of Yun Shangjun."
Yun Shangjun often deals with spiritual plants, so the fragrance of spiritual plants is naturally stronger than that of ordinary plants. Yun Shangjun not only cultivates spiritual plants, but also likes to refine them. Over time, he naturally has a cool herbal fragrance on his body.
Qin Shu was almost completely transparent at this time, and naturally her sense of smell was greatly reduced. She could not smell the smells that Lu Yishen mentioned at all.
Even the staff member who brought them here couldn't smell it. It was only after Lu Yishen reminded him that he sniffed hard and could barely smell the scent. However, it was also because the staff members didn't dare to get too close.
"Have you checked it?" Qin Shu asked, tilting her head.
The staff nodded quickly: "Well, nothing unusual."
Qin Shu nodded when she heard this, and then sat down against the wall in this position.
Soon, she felt a suction force.
When Qin Shu opened her eyes again, she had already entered that body.
At the same time, a picture suddenly flashed through Qin Shu's mind.
"Oh, so that's it." Qin Shu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said in a low voice.
"What?" Qin Shu's voice was so soft that even though Lu Yishen was standing very close to her, he couldn't hear it clearly.
Qin Shu was about to speak when the research base suddenly became bustling. Without Qin Shu asking, the staff member who had heard the news through the headset quickly spoke up, "Miss Qin Shu, Commander Xu Wen has already returned to Arkansas via starship teleportation technology! He said he has something important to discuss with you!"
"He's back?"
"Well, he's coming with people now."
Although the staff was shocked when they saw Qin Shu suddenly move after entering the body, anyone who could still stay here at this time must have extremely strong mental qualities. So even though his pupils were shaking, his expression did not show it at all.
"OK."
Being interrupted like this, Lu Yishen completely forgot to ask what Qin Shu had just said.
Soon, Xu Wen came back, and the person standing next to him was exactly the same person as Yun Shangjun.
Because Lu Yishen had never seen it with his own eyes, even though he had heard Qin Shu and the others mention it before, he was still a little stunned when he saw "Yun Shangjun" with his own eyes.
Xu Wen didn't even have time to say hello before immediately discussing the current situation. "Luckily, we went to the numbered planet and not only found some information about Zhou Yin, but also found him. Otherwise, given the closed and backward nature of that numbered planet, it would have taken who knows how many days for him to reach the central area, connect to the star network, see the trending search, and find us. Let me talk about Zhou Yin first, and he will tell you about him in person later."
"Um."
"Zhou Yin was indeed born on Numbered Star, but she was a homeless child who was picked up in a trash can by an old garbage collector. She has been with her ever since. When she was about six years old, Zhou Yin claimed that she had found her biological parents and wanted to take the old lady who raised her away from Numbered Star to live a better life. However, although the old lady lived in poverty, she was very attached to the place where she had lived for decades and was reluctant to leave. Later, Zhou Yin separated from the old lady, but before leaving, she left her a large sum of money and would return to Numbered Star from time to time to visit the old lady. However, the old lady passed away not long ago."
"Who are her biological parents?" Qin Shu asked.
"Unfortunately, her father died before she was born. Her mother is still alive, but she's a scumbag. We've already investigated and found that Zhou Yin never recognized his mother. The mother has no idea that the child she abandoned is still alive."
Lu Yishen frowned when he heard this: "That old lady suddenly got a large sum of money back then, but she didn't encounter any problems in such a backward and isolated place?"
"Is someone protecting that old lady?" Qin Shu guessed.
"Well, we can't find out who took Zhou Yin away back then, or where she went. The other experiences we've found are identical to those recorded by the Interstellar Federation, so we can only reasonably suspect it's related to that fast traveler."
Qin Shu nodded. She didn't know what use this information would be to them, so she simply looked at that "Yun Shangjun".
That person was also very sensible. He started talking without Qin Shu asking any questions. However, his first sentence was a bombshell -
"The fast traveler you are looking for is me."
Qin Shu: “!”
Lu Yishen: “!”
When Xu Wen heard this, he frowned tightly, and the staff on the side subconsciously reached for their guns.
Xu Wen raised his hand to stop him.
Just from this sentence and Xu Wen's expression, Qin Shu knew that things were definitely not going to be simple.
Sure enough, Yun Shangjun's next words were just as devastating: "To be precise, it's my body."
"Your body?"
"Well, I don't have time to explain in detail, so I'll just give a brief introduction. My real name is Gu Jue. I was born 221 years ago on Planet A9011. I was supposed to die from an epidemic at the age of 31, but I was unexpectedly bound to a system and began my own fast-travel mission."
221 years ago?
Qin Shu's eyes widened a little, but she didn't choose to ask questions at this time.
Lu Yishen paused when he heard this, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he swallowed the words he was about to say.
The man who called himself Gu Jue continued, undisturbed, "By the time I completed all my quick-travel world quests and returned, decades had passed in this world. Everything and everyone had changed. All my family and friends had perished in the epidemic. The only one who could still accompany me, the only one who could be called a friend, was my system."
Qin Shu listened with a lot of questions in her mind, because Gu Jue's experience was really different from hers.
It sounded like Gu Jue was wearing a different body and everything had changed when she came back, but the moment she was about to wear it back, she was still bound by the system.
Moreover, judging from Gu Jue's tone, his system seemed to be able to communicate just like Lu Yishen's.
