Chapter 93 Finale
◎Everything will be better.◎
It was a very young female voice, but the syllables it produced had an inexplicably cold, mechanical feel, without any emotional ups and downs.
But the people in the safe house had already fallen to the ground, and Qin Shu's body was lying in the medical cabin, making it impossible for her to make any sound. Therefore, the sudden female voice seemed even more ghostly and inexplicably scary.
If Qin Shu was not physically here at this moment, but she was here in person, perhaps she would find that the voice was actually somewhat familiar.
"drop."
As the gentle sigh was heard, the opening button of the medical cabin was suddenly pressed by a transparent hand. The next second, the door of the medical cabin where Qin Shu was lying was slowly opened, revealing Qin Shu's body, which was not breathing but still alive.
Inside the safe house, the female voice just now finally showed a bit of cheerfulness, and seemed to be unable to help but let out a low laugh.
But at this moment——
“Beep, beep…”
The shrill alarm sounded throughout the base again. At the same time, the door of the safe house, which had just been open, automatically lowered quickly and locked tightly. Suddenly, white lights lit up from all directions in the safe house, as if to illuminate the smallest corners of the room, leaving no room for people to hide.
However, there was still no one in the room.
Amid the shrill alarm, only Qin Shu's body was still lying steadily in the medical cabin.
But at this moment——
The right side of Qin Shu's cheek suddenly sank slightly, as if an invisible hand had pinched her face, and the force was very harsh, as if to confirm whether the Qin Shu in front of her was really Qin Shu: "She is really hiding here..."
Almost at the moment the voice fell, the transparent figure finally noticed something was wrong, but it was still a step too late. In an instant, the air in the emergency-locked safe house was suddenly and slowly sucked out.
This sudden situation seemed to finally make the invisible person in the safe house panic. She quickly moved to the door of the safe house and tried to open it by force. However, who would have thought that the quality of this emergency-sealed gravity door was unexpectedly good, and even so, it did not move at all.
Because of the attack, everything in the room was automatically powered off, all the lights went out at that moment, and even the medical cabin that had just been opened slowly closed again.
"Tattattatt." Seeing this, the woman hurried over and anxiously pressed the opening button of the medical cabin several times, but even this only slowed down the speed of the medical cabin's closing, but could not completely stop the trend of the medical cabin closing.
The only place in this room that can still provide oxygen is this medical cabin.
The transparent figure had almost no choice but to reach out and pull Qin Shu's body, trying to get her out of the medical cabin so that he could take her for himself.
But Qin Shu's body seemed to be tied to the medical cabin. The transparent figure pulled her out several times but failed. The air in the room was about to be sucked out, and the man finally made up his mind.
At the moment when the medical cabin was completely closed, Qin Shu in the medical cabin suddenly opened her eyes!
She clearly looked like Qin Shu, but her eyes looked very unfamiliar.
It was a look that was so cold that it was almost mechanical, especially the way the eyes suddenly rolled around after they became stiff, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
But in the next second, only fear remained in those eyes! Unbelievable fear!
She was trapped!
…
Meanwhile, on Akon Star, Gu Jue suddenly stood up, but before he could move, he froze again. He could only look at Qin Shu beside him with shock in his eyes: "It's you!"
Gu Jue's sudden attack and stiffness made Xu Wen feel a little puzzled, but he still straightened his body vigilantly, subconsciously wanting to protect Qin Shu and Lu Yishen behind him to prevent Gu Jue from doing anything unexpected.
But Xu Wen never expected that the soldiers who had been protecting them were one step faster. He didn't even notice when they made their move before Gu Jue was captured and even put in a restraint device.
"Why are you so surprised, King?" Qin Shu smiled faintly when she saw Gu Jue still staring at her.
"King!?" Before Gu Jue could react, Xu Wen's expression suddenly changed and his eyes widened.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
"Can't contact your system?" Qin Shu did not answer Gu Jue's question, and even raised her eyebrows and added leisurely.
"...What did you do?" Gu Jue's expression looked very bad, totally different from his previous calm look.
Xu Wen also wanted to know the answer to this question: "Isn't KING his system? The one with the burly figure."
How come Gu Jue suddenly became the KING?
Xu Wen always felt like he had overlooked something, so that the current situation was a little beyond his expectations.
"Why do you think so?" Qin Shu did not answer Xu Wen's question, but asked a question in return.
Xu Wen was stunned when he heard this: "Of course it's because..."
Suddenly, Xu Wen seemed to have thought of something. His eyes instantly became sharp, and he turned his head to look at Gu Jue on the side: "All the information was provided by him."
"And—you believed it easily, didn't you?"
Xu Wen naturally realized this, which is why he was so surprised.
He is a cautious and suspicious person, which is determined by his own character and the environment he is in. He will not trust anyone easily and will try his best to stay rational at all times.
Even towards Qin Shu, he always maintained the necessary vigilance.
But he just believed Gu Jue.
Not only did he himself not realize that anything was wrong, but no one else noticed that anything was wrong either.
It's like—
The consciousness of the group has been changed by invisible influences.
Realizing this, Xu Wen got goosebumps all over his body.
It was a feeling of horror that could not be described in words.
After a long while, Xu Wen finally found his voice: "What about you? Do you believe it too?"
Qin Shu possesses the Heroic Spirit System. If even she is affected, then...
As if she knew what Xu Wen was worried about, Qin Shu quickly gave an answer: "Yes, I believe it too."
Whether it is KING, the system, or even the information about the planet A9011 and Zhou Yin, a lot of the information comes from Gu Jue.
If Gu Jue is not trustworthy, then...
When Qin Shu said this, her eyes were fixed on Gu Jue.
The man who was angry and embarrassed just now was now much calmer. On the contrary, because he was exposed, he showed a strangely relaxed posture.
Even when he heard Qin Shu say that she believed it, a trace of contempt that looked down on everyone flashed in his eyes.
"Why did his temperament change so suddenly?" someone whispered.
No one answered his question.
However, when Lu Yishen saw Qin Shu's posture of having a good argument with Gu Jue, he was a little confused at first, then his eyelashes drooped slightly and he thought for a while, then he chuckled as if he understood something.
"What are you laughing at?" After taking off his disguise, Gu Jue had no good attitude towards Lu Yishen at all.
"It's nothing, I was born to love laughing." Lu Yishen said calmly.
Lu Yishen, who has always been known for his aloofness, loves to laugh. If this gets out to his fans, they will probably start to attack him online immediately.
But Lu Yishen's indifference made Qin Shu realize that the other party had guessed the purpose of her conversation.
She needs time.
"How did you realize that something was wrong with me?" Gu Jue asked.
"You are indeed very powerful. You must have learned a lot about me from the real Zhou Yin. Therefore, the heroic spirits I recruited were more or less affected, except for..."
"bite--"
At this moment, Qin Shu heard a long prompt tone coming from her terminal.
Qin Shu raised her wrist to confirm the terminal information and smiled: "I'm waiting for Omir to dismantle your system. What are you waiting for, King?"
"!" Gu Jue finally realized why Qin Shu had been in a "chattering" state since she met him.
This is especially true as you get further along in the story.
Considering Qin Shu's proud, confident and in-control look, Gu Jue thought that Qin Shu was showing off and being complacent, and he felt a little disdainful of it in his heart.
But what if all this was just Qin Shu’s act?
"You are stalling for time..." Gu Jue glared at Qin Shu fiercely.
"Aren't you the same?"
It was not until he heard Qin Shu's words that Gu Jue's expression truly changed.
"It's just an artificial intelligence. It can't destroy my system." Gu Jue was surprised for a moment, then immediately calmed down.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shu and some people who knew about the arrest of Gu Jue laughed out loud when they heard this.
An ominous premonition suddenly came over him, and Gu Jue vaguely realized that something unexpected had happened.
His throat moved, as if he wanted to ask something, but his pride would not allow him to do such a cheap thing.
Fortunately, Qin Shu gave him an answer quickly.
"Who said it was one?"
Gu Jue frowned. He always felt that Qin Shu’s words were not what they seemed to be.
Sure enough, after glancing at the surrounding warriors, Qin Shu added leisurely, "Seeing so many people coming to arrest you, are you still unable to react? Your opponent has never been the heroic spirit Omir I summoned, nor has it been just me or a few people, but the entire Interstellar Federation. Nothing can more effectively and powerfully mobilize all resources than a country, including all those selected by various systems."
Qin Shu has no interest in personal heroism. With the country to rely on, why not do it?
From the beginning, she was not fighting alone.
No matter how powerful Gu Jue is, or how much power he gathers, compared with the entire Interstellar Federation, he is still like an ant trying to shake a tree.
Not to mention, Gu Jue himself didn't realize that deep down he was actually afraid of people who were better and more outstanding than him, and was always afraid that he would be replaced. Therefore, the number of confidants he could really use was extremely limited, and he had to take action himself at times like this.
A big boss had to attack on his own, or attack from the side, and couldn't even fight head-on.
Just for this reason, Qin Shu didn't think she would lose.
"Crazy, crazy, you actually... Aren't you afraid that this country will betray you!?" Gu Jue couldn't understand.
This is all so ridiculous!
It was strange that Qin Shu had handed herself over to the country before, so why were there so many system owners willing to do so? Don't they know what the system can bring them?
Gu Jue's body shook slightly, and he felt like his worldview was collapsing.
Seeing Gu Jue like this, Lu Yishen, who had not interrupted the conversation the entire time, deliberately lengthened his tone and said, "Ah—I understand. This is the kind of talk a lost dog would make. Tsk, you haven't opened your mind yet."
Gu Jue turned suddenly with a dark face and looked at Lu Yishen.
Seeing this, Lu Yishen immediately looked frightened.
Although she knew that this guy was just pretending, Qin Shu still reached out and protected him behind her.
"Actually, I'm very curious, why is your trump card the idiot Qin Xiao?" Qin Shu asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Qin Xiao? Ah, it's her." Xu Wen still remembered this name.
After all, when Joker was captured, Omir had staged a massive livestream to vent Qin Shu's anger, and Qin Xiao was in the scene. Qin Er's illegitimate daughter was hostile to Qin Shu and had offered a bounty on both Lu Yishen and Qin Shu's heads, only to disappear in the end, her whereabouts unknown.
Originally, they thought it was just a clown that wouldn't affect their business, but now—
"Trump's weapon?" Xu Wen was a little surprised.
"Is this the kind of surprise you want?" Qin Shu did not forget to ask Gu Jue.
I have to say, it's a bit annoying.
"Or is it because you are related by blood, so you can manipulate your system and transfer part of it to her?" Seeing that Gu Jue did not answer, Qin Shu added slowly.
"Blood relationship, him and Qin Xiao!?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, although you can't tell from his appearance, his original identity is actually Qin Xiao's mother's grandfather."
"Original identity? No wonder we couldn't find this relationship when we checked Gu Jue." Xu Wen frowned.
Even if Gu Jue had obscured his consciousness and cognition, things that objectively existed should be able to be found out.
But they didn't find any of this. Instead, they only found the information that Gu Jue said, which added a bit of credibility to Gu Jue.
"Apart from their similar appearance, he and Gu Jue have nothing in common."
A familiar voice sounded from Qin Shu's terminal.
It was none other than Omir, who had previously complained that it was boring and he wanted to go back to the Heroic Spirit Space.
"You're back?" Xu Wen recognized the voice immediately.
"Hehe, I haven't been there at all." Omir said.
Xu Wen reacted quickly and realized the cause and effect of the whole incident almost immediately.
"Did you realize something was wrong at that time? After all, it was you who guided us to planet A9011." The appearance of Omir solved all the questions in Xu Wen's mind.
"Hmm." Omir responded.
"So, what is Gu Jue's true identity?"
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off track, Lu Yishen quickly brought the topic back.
Omir replied, "His real name is Jiang Yu. He is a very boring and unremarkable person."
"Ordinary? Me, ordinary?" Gu Jue's face turned very ugly in an instant.
He then struggled frantically, trying to free himself from the restraints.
Because he used too much force, his face was hideous and distorted, like a crazy and ugly beast trapped in a cage.
Even when Qin Shu had just exposed his disguise and cut off his escape route, he had never lost his composure like this.
But Qin Shu added leisurely, "Why are you angry? Don't you also hate your own mediocrity, which is why you keep abandoning yourself and choosing to parasitize more outstanding people with special abilities?"
After saying that, before Gu Jue could open his mouth to deny it, Qin Shu added, "Lu Yishen and I are excellent, right? You want us, right? Are you crazy about the systems on us? You keep causing trouble for us just to upgrade our systems so that you can sit back and reap the benefits. Am I right? Mr. Jiang Yu, who has a parasitic system."
Gu Jue, no, it should be Jiang Yu, his eyes were red at this moment.
Qin Shu yawned out of boredom: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I've been talking nonsense with you for so long. I'm waiting for Qin Xiao to die. What are you waiting for?"
Omir laughed meanly and said, "Wait until you die."
Qin Shu: “…”
Lu Yishen: “?”
Xu Wen suspected he had misheard: "Mr. Omir?"
"Please, after all these years, he's parasitized so many outstanding people with special abilities, and the system has been upgraded long ago. He can't just be a parasite, okay? Otherwise, where do you think his ability to influence cognition comes from? This is the ability of Gu Jue, who he parasitized. His own abilities combined with Gu Jue's abilities are the complete power he possesses."
When Lu Yishen heard this, his eyes kept scanning Gu Jue and Qin Shu. Finally, after connecting it to the previous sentence, he guessed a possibility -
"Parasite, death... Does he have another ability called saprophytic life?"
"Saprotrophic, obtaining energy from corpses to sustain one's own life? So if Qin Shu died, he..." Xu Wen's face instantly became extremely serious.
Lu Yishen's expression also became heavy.
However, the person involved, Qin Shu, still looked unhurried.
"You are about to die." Gu Jue gave a malicious smile.
"Oh, I'm curious. What gave you the confidence to believe I was doomed? Was it the seed Qin Xiao planted in me when he touched my body just now?"
"You know!?"
"You're so weird. I already know what system you have. How could I not know?" Qin Shu widened her eyes innocently.
"Even if you knew, you couldn't guard against it. No matter how powerful the ability user is, there is no way to escape. Once it sprouts, you will die, and all your abilities and energy will become my nourishment. You don't even know how I will survive afterwards, so how can you catch me? I will use your ability to start over again. This time, I win." Gu Jue, who has not hit a wall in all these years, is very confident.
"You seem to have forgotten that when I first met you, your brain was in a vat."
Gu Jue’s confident smile froze in an instant.
"That's because every time you use this ability, you transform into that form, right? You'd have to recuperate for a long time to recover, but I never thought you'd encounter us."
"Not only did we remove you from that tank, we also stuffed you into a body you never expected. This series of unexpected operations has probably not only affected your abilities, but also disrupted your original plans. Does that feel good? Let me guess, you are actually very weak right now? That's why you decided to attack me now. Your original intention was actually to kill me because you needed the energy after my death. As you said, my death is the prerequisite for you to start everything over again."
"So anxious, it seems Mr. Jiang Yu doesn't have much time left." Lu Yishen smiled sarcastically.
The corners of Qin Shu's mouth rose slightly: "And you just used your ability, but unfortunately... you used it in the wrong place."
"What did you do? It's impossible. My ability is unsolvable and no one can escape it!" Gu Jue panicked.
"I just told a little lie."
"What lie?"
"My real body is on the Desolate Planet. I lied to you." Qin Shu smiled brightly.
"Hehe." Omir's voice sounded even more annoying. "Actually, this body is the boss's real body. Did you plant a seed once, and then you heard the boss say that the body was on the Desolate Planet, so you switched to that body? Mr. Jiang Yu, who only has one seed."
Qin Shu clapped her hands joyfully, almost in unison with Omir's laughter. She added, "You can parasitize Qin Xiao, but why don't you ask her what she went through three years ago? Why did she put Yi Shen and I on the bounty list? Do you think it's just because of you?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I won't tell you. If you have any questions, go to hell." Qin Shu imitated Gu Jue's evil smile just now.
Lu Yishen looked at Qin Shu like this and thought she was a little cute. He even said, "I wanted to complain before. Joker, Queen, and King, even when I was a middle school student, I wouldn't have chosen such embarrassing names."
"you!"
Almost at the moment the two men finished speaking, Gu Jue's skin began to wither and shrivel up little by little, and finally his whole body began to shrink, as if his flesh and blood were melting away bit by bit. Finally, his skin turned back into the thin paper that Ma Liang had drawn on, and on the thin paper there was a brain.
I saw the white brain slowly changing color, from rotten yellow to brown, and then to a strange black and gray.
It doesn't look like a human brain at all.
Who could believe that the legendary omnipotent King died just like that?
Qin Shu no longer looked at this disgusting brain and turned to look at Xu Wen: "Report it to them, they will tell you how to deal with it later."
"Okay." Xu Wen nodded.
"You don't ask me what happened three years ago?"
"I still say the same thing. You respect your wishes. If you don't want to talk, I won't ask. As long as you don't harm the Federation, you will always have the greatest degree of freedom. This was one of the work instructions given to me from the beginning." Xu Wen said seriously.
"Yeah." Qin Shu smiled, a rare smile. Then she hooked her finger at Lu Yishen, "Going home?"
"Okay." Lu Yishen was very surprised when he heard Qin Shu mention three years ago, and his eyes even turned red.
The soldiers who had just surrounded them tightly immediately made way for Qin Shu and the others, and the starships slowly landed. The one numbered 1 even landed directly not far from Qin Shu and the others.
The starship door slowly opened.
Even the captain eagerly got off the starship and greeted Qin Shu and the others: "Qin Shu, we're here to take you home."
Qin Shu took a closer look and saw many familiar faces on the starship. Some had brought her back from the Desolate Planet, and some had picked her up when she visited various planets... It seemed as if she had unknowingly gotten to know many people and established many connections that she hadn't even realized.
"Well, let's go home." Qin Shu smiled.
After boarding the starship, Qin Shu was led into the most luxurious and comfortable room, and soon she fell into a deep sleep.
But no one objected to this.
Because even if we don't know what Qin Shu did, she must have paid a lot to achieve the final success, and it was definitely not as easy as she appeared.
And they just received news that Qin Shu's other fake clones had disappeared, along with the various heroic spirits she summoned.
…
Qin Shu fell into a deep sleep, as if she was back to that night three years ago.
In her dream, she was dragged into a battle royale, fighting in various worlds. Only the survivors would be bound to the system. Calculation, betrayal, fighting, everything was stepping on the bottom line of human nature, but there were always some people who were still warm-hearted and full of justice, like a fool. She was one of them, and so were many people.
At least during a battle royale, she helped Lu Yishen, who had been transformed into a child with props and whose mind and spirit were also childish. Ah, back then, Lu Yishen was still called Li Shen. Because he was a child, his eyes still had a kind of clear stupidity and inappropriate innocence, but he also had the courage and enthusiasm that adults did not have. So, she chose to protect him all the way.
And Qin Xiao almost killed Lu Yishen in that scene.
For most of the acquaintances, it was just an ordinary night, but for Qin Shu and the others, it was a nightmare that they did not want to recall. Time seemed to be extended infinitely here, and there was only victory or death.
Qin Shu survived to the end, but was killed by Qin Yue in reality.
Lu Yishen never imagined that the ending would be like this.
And the system he obtained can reverse time.
But those who want to manipulate time must pay an equal price.
So, Lu Yishen continued to die in one world after another, constantly looking for the possibility that Qin Shu could survive.
He tried so many times and died so many times that he couldn't even count them.
The pain and torture branded in his soul are constantly destroying his spirit. He is close to madness. Perhaps soon, he will no longer be able to bear it all and will end his life.
Even if this is not the case, his system will continue to degenerate, and I am afraid that next time it will take him with it and disappear from this world.
Qin Shu's disordered soul slowly awakened in the world where he died, and the system she obtained in the world of breakthrough was also resurrected. Although because she had died once, the system was almost formatted and only the most basic functions could be used.
Finally, at the very end, fate favored him.
In this reversal, Qin Shu handed over the system and relied on the help of the Interstellar Federation to upgrade the system bit by bit. Not only did she survive, she also protected him.
…
When Qin Shu woke up again, it was already the third morning.
Lu Yishen was waiting attentively by her side. When he saw her wake up, he offered her warm honey lemon water.
Seeing that Qin Shu had drunk it, he led everyone downstairs to eat.
Xu Wen was already waiting here. Seeing that she was in good spirits, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's eat something first. We can talk while we eat."
Qin Shu was not polite, nodded and sat down at the table: "Let's eat together."
The robot butler quickly brought the warmed food over. Xu Wen waited until Qin Shu had finished most of her meal before speaking, "The higher-ups actually wanted to come visit you, but because you were so uncomfortable seeing them before, they had to hold back. They did give you quite a bit of reward, though. Just check it on the terminal later."
"Um."
"This time, for Gu Jue's matter, you were forced to use up all your achievement points and summon a large number of heroic spirits. This has put too much strain on you both physically and mentally. Although we gave you a comprehensive physical examination while you were unconscious and there are no major physical problems, you should still rest for a while just in case. Of course, the doctor also recommended that you exercise regularly."
"Also, regarding the demands and opinions of our system owners, the Federation will listen to them together after everyone has recovered."
"And more..."
Xu Wen chattered a lot, and it was quite funny to see him, with such a cool and rational personality, suddenly transform into an old lady.
In the end, Lu Yishen threw Xu Wen out the door, then accompanied Qin Shu to relax and watch TV for a while, and then sent them to lie down and rest.
But this time, Lu Yishen was no longer sitting on the edge of the bed, but was pulled onto the bed by Qin Shu.
"Have a good rest." Lu Yishen was restrained and helpless.
But Qin Shu grabbed his collar and pulled him closer in a domineering manner.
She slowly approached Lu Yishen, her warm breath whispering in his ear: "You should also exercise properly."
…
Half a year later.
Qin Shu and Lu Yishen's wedding was held as scheduled.
Initially, Lu Yishen's fans were very dissatisfied with Qin Shu, thinking that she had too many negative rumors and was completely unsuitable for Lu Yishen, so they were very opposed to her. After all, even if most of the negative rumors about Qin Shu were false, not everyone would read the rumors, so their impression of Qin Shu was still very bad.
But when they saw Qin Shu enjoying the government's support while being respected by many people they couldn't even reach, even Lu Yishen publicly stated in an interview: "Qin Shu is willing to marry me, she is marrying down."
The commotion caused by this sentence can be said to have brought an unprecedented shock to the Star Network, causing the entire Star Network to be disconnected for a full nine seconds.
Unfortunately, the two parties didn't care at all, and were even photographed traveling among the stars.
And today, regarding their wedding, the official account of the Interstellar Federation, which usually only releases major news, actually released a piece of "entertainment industry" news.
[Qin Shu & Lu Yishen, happy wedding, may you live happily ever after.]
Now the entire Interstellar Federation was confused again.
So when they saw the top leaders of the Interstellar Federation attending Qin Shu and her friends' wedding, everyone was so numb that they didn't know how to react.
Not only were all the leaders, generals, and starship captains familiar with Qin Shu, but how come they also saw some... uh, cosplayers? Those people in bizarre costumes and strange looks, how come they also looked like they knew Qin Shu so well?
So, on this happy day.
The first hot search on Star Network is #Qin Shu and Lu Yishen’s wedding#, and the second is #What is Qin Shu’s job#.
Amidst the discussion of the crowd.
Qin Shu and Lu Yishen exchanged a long kiss and made vows to each other.
"For a long time."
"Never separate."
