Chapter 89 My
◎Lu Yishen, my◎
"What happened next?" Qin Shu asked.
Gu Jue's expression flickered with sadness for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure. "Toward the end of my life, I gave all my remaining achievement points to the system as a reward for its companionship over the years. It asked me if I had any regrets in my life, and I said my only regret was that I wasn't human, and I couldn't share many things with it. I remember that I had indeed died at that time, and I never imagined that after all these years, I would wake up in this way. After waking up, I set out to investigate what had happened all those years ago, and my investigation led me all the way to the numbered planet where you found me."
"Excuse me, do you remember what you look like?" Lu Yishen did not comment on this story, but suddenly asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
But Gu Jue didn't feel offended. He even turned his head to glance at Xu Wen. "As soon as I was found, I told Mr. Xu Wen all my original information and data. After all, the system is currently using my body, so having these will make it easier to find its current existence."
Qin Shu immediately looked at Xu Wen when she heard that. Xu Wen nodded, then opened the terminal and projected a holographic image in front of Qin Shu and the others.
It was an extremely tall figure with a strong build, giving off an indescribable sense of majesty. He wore a well-tailored suit underneath and a white formal coat outside. His black, slightly curly, semi-long hair just brushed the collar. It was a face that would never be forgotten once seen, but no useful information could be detected in the Interstellar Federation database.
"I died of a serious illness at the age of 36. It's ironic that I didn't die from the epidemic that killed my relatives and friends, but died of another serious illness five years later."
"What kind of serious illness? Can't the system cure it?"
Gu Jue shook his head upon hearing this: "It's not that I couldn't save him, but I really didn't want to continue living at that time."
Friends and relatives passed away, things changed, and time seemed to have abandoned him, constantly flowing forward. The more he lived alone, the more he felt that he was out of tune with this world. He was not a very ambitious person. He had tried his best to return to this original world and save his relatives and friends. His goals and motivations were all destroyed after he returned to the original world and heard that they had passed away. Death might be a relief for him, at least that's what he thought at the time.
But there wasn't much time to talk about the past. Gu Jue only felt a little sad before getting straight to the point: "Do you remember who I said I was when we first met?"
Qin Shu actually remembered this: "You said you were the planet master of Planet A9011."
Gu Jue nodded. "That's not nonsense, because it's indeed the facts that exist in my mind. It's just that these facts were beautified and implanted in my mind. In the many years since I died, I have been 'living' in this way, thinking that these are my real experiences and memories."
"Those machines inserted into your brain are used for this." Qin Shu quickly thought of the situation when she first met Gu Jue.
"But although these facts have been embellished, they are not completely fabricated. At least since I woke up, I have been tracing these implanted memories bit by bit, and they have confirmed my suspicions."
Qin Shu and Lu Yishen asked almost simultaneously, "What are the memories implanted in you?"
Gu Jue glanced at Xu Wen, and when he saw Xu Wen nod, he continued, "I've already told Mr. Xu Wen the more specific details. I'll just briefly explain the more useful information here. First, regarding Zhou Yin's matter, or rather, the existence of Zhou Yin, in the memories implanted in me, I saw these children were alone and helpless, so I adopted them, brought them up by my side, and raised them. They are my new family."
"In fact, they treat these children as useful tools. Zhou Yin is like this, and so are the Qin Xiao siblings who were abandoned by Qin Lao Er after their mother died suddenly. The system with Gu Jue's appearance brought these children to its side to train them and make them work for it. If it really treated them as family, it would not have used other means to control them all the time. An intelligent system that is superior to the current world technology can easily control anyone." Xu Wen obviously did not say this casually, but said these words after he had sufficient evidence.
"It seems that you have obtained a lot of information from the numbered star where Zhou Yin was born." Qin Shu couldn't help but speak when she saw this.
"Well, the second thing is about my memory. As a planetary master, I own my own interstellar fleet. But in reality, the so-called interstellar fleet is actually interstellar pirates. Even the pirate leader, the Ace of Hearts, is just a convenient pawn of his. This team of interstellar pirates is much more powerful than you imagine. Judging from the fact that the starships can be invisible, even the S-class starships currently possessed by various planets may not be able to crush them."
"Third, regarding those human experiments Jeffrey conducted..." Gu Jue couldn't help but pause when he said this, his expression somewhat bitter. "In the memories that were implanted in me, there were no human experiments. It's just that the medical level of society has greatly improved. Diseases that were previously incurable are no longer a problem. No one dies from diseases anymore, and everyone lives happily."
Qin Shu fell silent after hearing this. She raised her head and looked at Gu Jue deeply with a complicated expression.
"Qin Shu, do you want to say something?" Xu Wen couldn't help but ask when he saw this.
"I don't know if I'm overthinking it, but I always feel like everything this system does is because of Mr. Gu."
After Qin Shu finished speaking, neither Lu Yishen nor Xu Wen refuted, but just looked at Gu Jue at the same time.
Seeing that Gu Jue remained silent, Qin Shu simply continued, "A family that stays by your side and never leaves you, the strength to protect everything from others, a pain-free world where your loved ones will never be taken away again—aren't these what Mr. Gu most desires? Mr. Gu, you've realized this yourself, right?"
"..." Gu Jue did not speak immediately after hearing this, but remained silent for a long time, and then he sighed softly, "How could you not notice it?"
That was the friend who had been with him the longest.
His wishes were being fulfilled in this world in a twisted way, how could he not know who did it?
Lu Yishen, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up. "Is there something in me that you desire? Why did Jeffrey and the others not forget to capture me when they were about to leave Arkansas?"
Gu Jue was stunned when he heard this, as if he had not expected such a thing to happen. He shook his head, his expression showing a rare bewilderment.
Xu Wen, however, glanced at the latest data transmitted from the terminal and suddenly spoke up: "Maybe it's because your adoptive father is a descendant of the Gu family."
When Gu Jue's brain was still sleeping peacefully on Planet A9011, Lu Yishen's existence was both important and unimportant. So even if the Qin siblings wanted to kill Lu Yishen, or Jeffrey wanted to study Lu Yishen, it didn't matter. But now that he had lost Gu Jue, he naturally thought of Lu Yishen, his distant relative.
But Lu Yishen didn't think so: "It shouldn't be this reason."
Even Gu Jue, who knew his old friend well, nodded: "Well, it shouldn't be that reason, at least not just that reason."
Qin Shu was too lazy to speculate on these things anymore: "Anyway, no matter what the reason is, let's catch him first."
"But how can we catch him?" Gu Jue thought of many ways, but none of them seemed to work. He had thought about contacting the system during this period, but the other party was elusive. Even though a lot of information was implanted in his brain, allowing him to figure out many things, he even destroyed the A9011 starport and failed to successfully contact the system. In the end, he could only drive away in an unregistered small starship and began his own journey of verification.
"Let him fall into the trap." Qin Shu, Xu Wen and Lu Yishen said almost in unison.
"Hmm?" Gu Jue didn't understand.
Qin Shu smiled and said, "Since it's an intelligent system, it will definitely confirm even the slightest possibility in its world, right?"
"Indeed, but so what?"
"It should be time." Qin Shu raised her hand and grabbed Lu Yishen's wrist. She pulled his hand over and glanced at the time on the terminal. Then she said, "Let's start the live broadcast first."
"Live broadcast?" Gu Jue looked confused and had no idea what Qin Shu and the others were going to do.
But almost the moment Qin Shu finished speaking, Xu Wen and Lu Yishen were stunned for a moment before both started laughing, as if they had remembered something: "Well, we need to let some people take a good look."
Qin Shu didn't even need any live broadcast equipment, and directly asked Lu Yishen to open the live broadcast page of Star Network.
"Lu Yishen, do you mind?" Although she didn't specify what she minded, Lu Yishen still understood what Qin Shu had not yet said.
"I couldn't ask for more."
Qin Shu smiled when she heard that.
So, when Star Network netizens saw that the movie star Lu Yishen, who had almost never done a live broadcast, actually started a live broadcast, they all flocked to the live broadcast room.
But no one expected that what they saw was not only the movie star Lu Yishen, but also Qin Shu, who was leaning on Lu Yishen's chest with a smile on her face.
"What's going on?" Starnet netizens looked confused and even forgot to send the barrage.
At this moment, Qin Shu embraced Lu Yishen and kissed him deeply.
"Lu Yishen, mine."
Live broadcast disconnected.
But the entire Star Network was in an uproar because of this short live broadcast of just a few dozen seconds.
The author has something to say:
I'm back, I'm back, that's the end! It won't be a scam.
