Chapter 91 Conspiracy
◎Draw a circle and wait for you◎
Qin Shu was not surprised at all when she saw Zhou Yin again. However, Xu Wen, who was always calm, had his eyes wide open. He was unable to react to how things had developed to this point. He was stunned for a moment. Lu Yishen raised his eyebrows thoughtfully.
"Boss." Zhou Yin was very familiar with Qin Shu. Without any sense of betrayal, he strode towards Qin Shu.
"What's going on?" Xu Wen asked with a frown, standing in front of Qin Shu with some caution.
Seeing this, Qin Shu nodded to Xu Wen: "It's okay."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wen slightly turned his body to the side, but still looked at Zhou Yin with a vigilant look.
Zhou Yin did not react much to Xu Wen's guard, and even stopped two steps away from Qin Shu out of consideration.
"Are you going to speak or should I?" Qin Shu asked.
Zhou Yin smiled brightly: "Let me do it."
Just from this smile, Xu Wen knew that the person in front of him was not the Zhou Yin he was familiar with.
The Zhou Yin he was familiar with, though he usually seemed rather forthright and straightforward, as if he would open up to people once they got to know each other, but having spent the longest time with Zhou Yin, he knew that Zhou Yin was not so "innocent". Even when he laughed, his smile was not this...
There is no haze, as if he has never suffered any hardship, and he is as clean as a piece of pure white paper.
Even though the person in front of him looked and acted very much like Zhou Yin, Xu Wen knew that she was definitely not him.
Then - who is this Zhou Yin in front of me?
For the first time, Xu Wen felt an indescribable confusion. He always felt as if something extraordinary had happened without his knowledge. This sudden feeling of being out of control made him feel a little... strange.
"I am Zhou Yin, created by Mr. Ma Liang. Although before this, I didn't even know I was fake."
"Ma Liang!?" Xu Wen had never considered this answer before and was stunned for a moment. "When did you start replacing her?"
Xu Wen felt goosebumps all over his body and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Zhou Yin, however, didn't care at all. Seeing Xu Wen's question, he gave a straightforward answer: "After Mr. Ma Liang was hired, Mr. Omir had already made plans with Boss Qin Shu. That's when we were born."
"We?" Xu Wen felt that this sentence contained a huge amount of information, and in the end he could only grasp the point that he cared about most and asked.
Zhou Yin nodded: "Yes, our current body was created together at that time, but our memories have been temporarily locked away and will not be restored until certain conditions are triggered."
Qin Shu smiled slightly, as if agreeing with Zhou Yin's words, but Lu Yishen, who was familiar with Qin Shu, saw a hint of profound meaning in this smile, just like the expression of those bosses of tourist attractions when they were about to rip off their customers.
"It seems that what Zhou Yin said is not true. I'm afraid someone is going to be in trouble." Lu Yishen thought secretly, then calmly withdrew his gaze, pretending not to see it, and did not point it out.
Xu Wen was stunned. He felt that although Zhou Yin in front of him had made some explanations, he had not explained the matter completely. He even brought up more mysteries, making him even more confused.
Qin Shu couldn't help but sigh when she saw this: "Forget it, let me start from the beginning."
"If that KING doesn't disturb us..." Lu Yishen didn't feel that there was too much time to elaborate on this.
Qin Shu did not respond immediately after hearing this, but just looked at Gu Jue calmly.
After all, this person is the most critical link.
"Let's cut to the chase and start with Omir." Qin Shu retracted her gaze from Gu Jue and began to explain from the beginning. "Omir's abilities are far more terrifying than we imagined. After connecting to the network here, it almost immediately discovered Zhou Yin's abnormality and informed me."
"Hasn't KING already processed all of Zhou Yin's information? How can we discover any clues like this?" Gu Jue seemed to have great faith in King's ability and felt that it would not make such a "low-level" mistake.
But it’s not surprising that he thought so. After all, he didn’t know how extraordinary the Omir that Qin Shu mentioned was.
And although Gu Jue didn't express it outwardly, and perhaps he himself might not have realized it, deep down he had long since believed that as a fast-traveler, he was extremely special. He was even more convinced that his system was extremely powerful. Could a so-called artificial intelligence "Omir" that suddenly appeared be compared to a system of a higher being that might not even exist in the same plane? Gu Jue didn't think so.
"Once you know what's wrong with a person, it becomes easy to verify and investigate. I have to apologize to Xu Wen here." When Qin Shu said this, she turned her head to look at Xu Wen, who was frowning beside her.
"What?" Xu Wen didn't react to what Qin Shu meant for a moment.
"Because you have a good relationship with Zhou Yin, although I know you won't betray me, I chose to keep it a secret from you to minimize the risk. I bypassed you and contacted the top leader. Unbeknownst to you, Zhou Yin on the front lines had already been detained and replaced by the new Zhou Yin created by Ma Liang."
Upon hearing this, Xin Zhou Yin raised his hand and waved slightly, looking like he was about to make a brilliant appearance.
Xu Wen's expression was a little subtle when he saw this, but he finally nodded with restraint: "I would choose to do the same if I were you."
Xu Wen did not think that Qin Shu did not trust him. On the contrary, Qin Shu's approach was the best solution at the time. If Qin Shu had told him at the time, he would still have no choice but to report the matter. Not only would it waste time, the result would be no different from now, and it might even cause trouble because of this unnecessary action.
At this time, if we worry about the issue of trust and distrust, it would be difficult to distinguish between the occasions.
Besides, Qin Shu had sincerely apologized to him at this time, so it was even less likely that he would hold a grudge against this matter.
"Yeah." Qin Shu nodded and continued, "Zhou Yin has been with me since the beginning, which means King knew everything about me from the very beginning, so it was inevitable that he would attack me. For this reason, just in case, I also prepared a backup body, but I didn't expect to actually use it."
Qin Shu spoke very naturally, and Xu Wen and Gu Jue had no doubt about it. Only Lu Yishen, who had some knowledge of acting, glanced at Qin Shu again.
"It is also waiting for you to grow up." Xu Wen almost immediately realized why KING took action personally at the end, because Qin Shu's system was not as powerful as it is now in the beginning. The original [Heroic Spirit Recruitment System] could only recruit from the junior talent pool, and even only one at a time, and one could only exist for 24 hours. Although it had unlimited potential, it did have many restrictions at the time and was not a particularly strong existence.
Later, Qin Shu experienced more and more things and upgraded step by step, and the system finally became what it is today. It can also be said that the [Heroic Spirit Recruitment System] is so powerful now that it is entirely due to the efforts of the entire Federation and Qin Shu.
KING is very smart. It knows better than anyone that it wants to help the system iterate faster. It cannot match the power of an entire interstellar federation, so it did not take action at the first time, and even secretly promoted this matter.
"I'm afraid that the unusual attention Qin Shu has received on the Internet is also related to it." After all, Lu Yishen is a movie emperor and is more sensitive to things like attention, so he immediately thought of this at this time.
"Yeah, Omir said that too."
"But why did he suddenly decide to attack Qin Shu?"
Qin Shu's eyes dropped slightly at first, then she looked at everyone again and said, "It must be because all his men were taken care of one by one by us, so he had no choice but to attack me."
Gu Jue remained silent, standing quietly to the side. However, "Zhou Yin" took the initiative to speak, "Anyway, no matter what, luckily Mr. Omir was prepared in advance, and thanks to Mr. Omir blocking my memory, I didn't reveal my true identity even after returning to King. It wasn't until today when we captured the boss that I realized who I really was. Even if King is so smart and omnipotent, I'm afraid he still doesn't know what happened."
"Well, what we want is for him to come back confused and confirm. But this time... don't even think about leaving." Qin Shu said.
And as if in response to Qin Shu's words, some soldiers came to report that countless elite troops had arrived at the teleportation cabin.
Even if everyone did not go to check the situation, they could feel the huge momentum just by feeling the ground shaking and the fully armed personnel coming in and out for protection from time to time.
Especially when Xu Wen looked down at the terminal and suddenly said with joy, "Even the super S-class starships that the Interstellar Federation has never shown to the outside world have been dispatched," everyone knew that the most elite forces of the entire Interstellar Federation were probably gathered on this small planet Arkan.
Gu Jue, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke up at this moment: "With such a strong attitude, aren't you afraid that King won't dare to come and confirm it in person?"
Zhou Yin glanced at Qin Shu before replying, "Let's not talk about the fact that we not only have to protect the boss from King, but we also have to ensure we can arrest him immediately if he shows up. These arrangements are necessary. Even if King sees our defenses down, they might think there's a scam going on and not come. This is an open conspiracy."
"...Then have you ever considered that even with so many people, we might still not be able to protect Qin Shu from him?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. This body of mine was originally drawn by Ma Liang. My real body is still lying on the Desolate Planet. Even if he really does something to this body of mine, it won't be a big problem. I can find a way to wake up in my real body. I'm just a bait here."
Gu Jue drooped his brows slightly upon hearing this, and then he replied with relief: "Oh, really? That's really... great."
Gu Jue said the three words "that's great" very softly, but his tone rose slightly.
