Chapter 41 Chapter 41
After Xuanyin was locked up for a day, Cheng Shu came back to see her.
Cheng Shuhui looked at her with concern through the visitor screen. "Are you okay? Did anyone here give you any trouble?"
Xuanyin shook her head: "He was interrogated once and has been locked up ever since. Everything is fine. How are you and mom?"
Cheng Shu replied, "My mother and I have also been investigated and are cleared of suspicion. Don't worry about us. Xuanyin, listen to me. They'll use hypnosis combined with some kind of memory-exploring divine clothing to dig up your lost memories. As long as they can confirm that you have no connection to the Xingluo people, you'll be released."
Xuanyin asked, "What if they find out I'm related to the Xingluo people?"
Cheng Shuhui was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if you had a relationship with the Xingluo people in the past, you were a victim. What you experienced in the past doesn't mean anything. As long as you don't do anything detrimental to the country after returning to the Federation, there won't be any problem.
"In short, just go for the checkup and don't worry about anything else."
Xuanyin nodded: "I understand."
After the visit, Xuanyin was not locked up back in her previous room, but was taken to an examination room.
The system circled the surrounding walls and said to Xuanyin, "These four walls are one-way perspective. The person sitting behind them observing you has a 360-degree view without a blind spot!"
Xuanyin's expression didn't fluctuate at all, she just lowered her head and rubbed her fingers gently.
After a while, a middle-aged woman in a scientific research uniform walked in and sat down in front of Xuanyin with a smile. "You must be Cheng Xuanyin, right? Can I call you Xuanyin?"
Xuanyin nodded: "Okay."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Zhu Jierui, and I'm a psychology expert. Of course, most people call me a hypnotist. Do you know why I'm here today?"
Xuanyin said, "I know. I lost a long period of memory. Please help me recover that memory."
Zhu Jierui smiled gently. "To be precise, 'retrieve' isn't the right word; 'excavate' should be used. For some reason, or perhaps some force, your memories have been buried deep within your memory bank. What we need to do is dig them out, playing them back like a movie. When you wake up, you may not remember the contents of the movie, but that's okay. We'll record them one by one."
Xuanyin nodded: "So, I was unconscious during the whole process, and everything I experienced in the past will be dug up by you?"
"That's about it. Now, let's measure your mental strength level."
Xuanyin allowed the other party to wear the instrument to measure her mental power.
She silently lowered the intensity of her mental strength to around level B.
Therefore, the measured mental strength level is B+.
Zhu Jierui was surprised, and the people behind the see-through wall were also surprised.
"According to records, the last time Cheng Xuanyin's mental strength was measured, it was D+. In just a few months, she has recovered two levels!"
"Cheng Xuanyin's paternal genes are excellent. She had her genetic potential tested when she was young. Her mental strength level should be around S-level when she grows up. Will her past memories be restored when her mental strength returns to S-level?"
"So, after she returned to the Federation, her spiritual power level was so low. Was it the Xingluo people who did something?"
"Who knows how the Xingluo people trained her? In any case, this person is quite dangerous."
After some discussion, the observation team added half a star to Xuanyin's dangerousness.
All these words were heard by the system and then relayed to Xuanyin.
Zhu Jierui was still chatting with Xuanyin with a smile on his face: "Your mental strength is recovering very quickly. Can you feel it yourself?"
Xuanyin nodded. "I feel like I'm getting more and more energetic. I go to the gym regularly, and my stamina has been slowly improving. My coach said that when stamina improves, both physical strength and energy will increase, but he didn't link it to mental strength."
Zhu Jierui: "When you first came back three years ago, your mental power level was B. Later, you were injured and it dropped to D. Now it has recovered to B+. If nothing unexpected happens, your mental power level will rise again. This means that your original level was not just B, but may have been artificially suppressed to B. Do you have the impression that your mental power is very strong?"
Xuanyin pretended to recall the past, then shook her head: "I don't remember."
Zhu Jierui: "It's okay, let's go into your memory together to find the answer."
While Zhu Jierui was talking, he used his friendliness to attract Xuanyin's attention, and at the same time he quietly extended the tentacles of his spiritual power into Xuanyin's spiritual sea.
Zhu Jierui is indeed a master of hypnosis. Her mental power is very strong. Xuanyin estimates that it should be between SS and SSS levels.
This is already a terrifying level. Basically, SSS is the ceiling of human mental power.
Hypnosis is closely related to the strength of mental power. With Zhu Jierui's physical conditions and her professional skills, she can basically hypnotize most people.
However, the moment she thought she had penetrated Xuanyin's spiritual sea silently, Xuanyin discovered it.
The spiritual tentacles that appeared huge and delicate in front of others and had the upper hand completely, in front of Xuanyin, were fragile and tender like a baby's fingers.
She could easily push it out or break it, or even follow this tentacle to strike back at Zhu Jierui, turning his spiritual sea into a paste.
But Xuanyin did nothing, pretending that she knew nothing. She continued to chat with Zhu Jierui while letting the tentacle explore left and right in her spiritual sea.
The system floated beside Xuanyin's head and asked worriedly, "Will she notice anything?"
Xuanyin still had enough energy to answer it: "What she can see is my disguised spiritual sea."
"Can this be disguised?"
"certainly."
How hard could it be to take some water from an ocean and make a lake?
Unfortunately, Xuanyin couldn't fabricate a memory out of thin air to get away with it. This was too difficult.
After all, she really didn't know what her original body had experienced in the past, and these memories would inevitably involve other people, so she couldn't make up places and names of people out of thin air.
Therefore, this hypnotist is bound to return empty-handed.
Zhu Jierui really felt like she had entered a pure and vibrant spiritual sea. It was clearly a B+ level spiritual sea, but that lake was pregnant with a lot of vitality, which was consistent with her guess - Cheng Xuanyin's spiritual power level would continue to increase in the future.
But other than that, she couldn't see any memories of the past, and the only memories she could see were from the last two or three years.
It's all about love.
Ah, I fell in love with someone, and he happened to be my fiancé.
Ah, my fiancé doesn’t like me!
Ah, what on earth should I do to make him look at me?
Ah, why can he only see my cousin in his eyes?
Ah, if I died now, would he be heartbroken and regretful?
Zhu Jierui's face looked extremely strange, as if he had been force-fed a pile of dog shit, and he felt unwell all over.
What kind of low-quality memory is this?
Looking at the girl in front of her whose eyes were closed and who had fallen into a complete coma, the corners of her mouth twitched again and again. Is this the character of someone who has been trained by the Xingluo people for more than ten years?
Even if the memory is sealed, the nature should not change. What can a love-brained person do?
The door was pushed open and several people came in: "How is it?"
Zhu Jierui shook his head: "I can only see the memories of the past three years."
This was also expected. Since the people in Xingluo District sealed her memory, it would not be easy for others to peek into that memory.
"Transfer to the dream world and put on the divine robe."
"yes."
Xuanyin let the disguised false spiritual sea settle down, giving the illusion of being asleep, while her real consciousness was hidden in her real spiritual sea. She silently watched the development of the situation, and could even chat with the system and listen to the system's broadcast of the situation outside.
System: "Host, they are going to put you into the dream world."
Xuanyin was thinking about how she should behave for a while, and the next moment, her vision changed, and she found herself standing in an extremely empty space.
Scenes appeared around him, all of which were what the original owner had done in the past three years. Fragmented fragments, happy, sad, helpless, and resentful, played out one after another.
She looked at everything in front of her with some surprise, and then looked at her body calmly.
She was wearing pure white clothes and her whole body was emitting pure white light.
Zhu Jierui appeared in front of her. She was no longer the same as before. She was covered with pure snow-white feathers, like a dove.
Xuanyin immediately understood that this was what Zhu Jierui looked like after being possessed by a god. Was it a divine robe that looked like a pigeon?
Zhu Jierui: "This is our self-inquiry space."
"Self-inquiry space?" Xuanyin asked blankly, looking like she was still deeply immersed in hypnosis.
Zhu Jierui nodded, placed his hand on Xuanyin's forehead, and injected a stream of divine power into her. His voice was full of bewitching power: "Do you want to know your past? Go and explore your past, your life. Move forward, and you will see everything you have experienced in your life, everything you have seen, heard, thought, and imagined..."
With the infusion of her voice and divine power, Xuanyin felt her heart stirring, and her whole body began to lose control, as if she was completely lost.
But at a certain moment, she suddenly woke up and found herself on the edge of a whirlpool.
She broke out in a cold sweat.
It is worthy of being called a divine garment!
Her mental strength can resist most temptations, but divine power is really hard to contend with.
She couldn't imagine whether stepping into this vortex would expose everything she had experienced in the past, and then her origins would be completely revealed.
But while she was alert and shocked, she felt a little restless in her heart.
She did lose some memory, a small part of it, which was the memory after the spaceship was attacked.
She recalled it countless times, wondering what happened at that time, who attacked them, and whether anyone on her side survived in the end.
Perhaps, this is an opportunity?
She looked at the whirlpool under her feet, feeling both expectant and hesitant.
Zhu Jierui was a little confused. Why was she standing there motionless?
She could only continue to tempt Xuanyin to step into the vortex.
The divine power continued to disrupt Xuanyin's thinking.
Xuanyin's mind moved, and a menu bar appeared in front of her.
She breathed a sigh of relief. This was the dream world, and as long as she was in the dream world, she could summon the menu.
She quickly entered the divine clothing storehouse and came to her own private storehouse, and took out two divine clothing buckles, one of which was the most powerful Shiji Niangniang, and the other was Meng Po.
Carrying Zhu Jierui on her back, she clutched the two buckles of the divine robe in her hands, took a deep breath, and stepped into the vortex that was swirling in front of her.
She fell freely.
The wind whistled in her ears, and many scenes appeared around her, all fragments of her past experiences.
The original world, other fast-travel worlds, birth, death, accepting tasks, completing tasks, saying goodbye, and starting over...
There were too many images, and the entire volume was so exaggerated that Zhu Jierui, who created the vortex, suddenly had a splitting headache.
It was like a hard drive with insufficient memory, decompressing an extremely large file, and instantly causing it to crash.
Xuanyin continued to fall, deliberately not resisting the divine power that wanted to analyze the memory in her brain. She didn't know how long she fell. Finally, in a hazy light and shadow, she saw what she wanted to see.
She suddenly stopped and swam towards the light and shadow, magnifying it little by little, and then again. The blurry things became clearer little by little, and finally, a scene appeared in front of her.
Rumble!
Bang!
It was a bright hall, but it was now shaking from the constant bombardment. Things on the ceiling fell down, the walls and pillars tilted, and even the entire space was upside down.
This was because the entire spacecraft was tilted by the bombardment.
People slid to one side of the hall in a panic, and other tables, chairs and items also slid over. Many people were crushed to death or disabled by these heavy objects.
The lights flickered and the AI alarm blared sharply.
"The air pressure in area XX of the spacecraft has been unbalanced... The spacecraft's life support system has been damaged... The spacecraft's energy system has been damaged... The spacecraft's damage rate is 45%..."
Xuanyin stared at the scene in a daze. The people around her were falling and falling and couldn't touch her. She wanted to hold them, but her hands passed through their bodies.
This is her memory, and she can't change it at all.
There was another loud bang, and the hall was blown apart. Fragments of shells and other objects were splattered everywhere, and many people were directly "pierced through the hearts by thousands of arrows" and torn to death.
Outside the place that was blown open was pitch-black space, and people who approached that place were directly sucked out by the vacuum.
Xuanyin was so shocked that she even forgot that she was just an outsider. She immediately mobilized her mental strength to repair the big hole.
But there was someone who moved faster than her. She saw a person rushing over, and a surge of mental power surged over. Suddenly, an invisible solid barrier appeared on the big gap, isolating it from the vacuum outside.
The man turned around, and Xuanyin saw her own face, her young face that had never experienced anything. Her eyes were surprisingly bright, hiding fear and terror, but also fire and determination.
She shouted loudly to everyone, "Get out of here quickly and retreat to District 9!"
Her mental power made her voice float far away, powerful and clear.
She raised her hand, and waves of mental power lifted up the heavy objects that were pressing on people, and the people below were rescued.
Everyone supported, carried and embraced each other and escaped.
Xuanyin also ran out and arrived at the next scene in a blink of an eye. She saw assault ships and warships sliding out from the belly of the spacecraft. Some of them were shattered into pieces by enemy artillery fire as soon as they flew out and were annihilated in space.
She saw a man in a white combat uniform, tall and long-legged, calmly directing everyone. She recognized him just from his back.
Xuanyin's eyes suddenly became wet.
She immediately rushed over: “Senior Brother!”
But the young girl was still quicker. She saw herself rushing over and grabbing her brother: "Brother, don't go! You can't go! I'll go!"
The man turned sideways, his brows stern, and said to "Xuanyin": "Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to use your mental power to store the entire database?"
"If the people are gone, what's the point of remembering the database? Brother, even though you are immortal, you are still afraid of artillery fire!"
"Nonsense, go back immediately!"
"I don't!"
"Listen, this time it's a matter of life and death. We may all die, but you, only you, have a chance to survive. Carry the database, our history and wisdom, and survive! I've prepared everything for you in the escape pod. As long as you're alive, the escape plan won't end."
"I can't do it. I can't do it alone."
"No, you can do it. Find a suitable planet, cultivate those frozen fertilized eggs, and build a new home... This process may take decades, hundreds of years, or even longer. Only you have the ability to be the pilot.
"Xuanyin, this is your mission and the meaning of your birth."
"Xuanyin" was completely stunned.
Xuanyin looked at the scene and stood there silently.
She was a little confused. Did her senior brother say these words to her?
She knew the meaning of her birth, and many people had told her the meaning.
It is said that humans have devoted all their efforts to researching the immortal series of supernatural powers in order to create immortal pilots for the great escape plan, so that people will not forget their origins, their paths and goals as generations pass.
Only those who have a long life and who remember the past can implement plans more faithfully and accurately.
That’s how she came to be, and that’s how her brother was born.
But she never had a real sense of the responsibilities she shouldered.
Because she has a senior brother above her, although he will teach her strictly, he will not always instill in her the concept of "longevity tool man".
He hopes that she can grow up healthy, happy and free.
But it turned out that at this critical moment of life and death, the senior brother also told her what the others had said.
How to say it, she could understand, but she felt a little lost.
The scene changed again, and she found herself in a relatively small space. She saw herself sitting in the driver's seat, with the enemy fleet in front of her.
This is her in the assault ship, charging fiercely towards the enemy.
She saw that her face was covered in blood and tears.
She released the joystick and grabbed the air with both hands. The two enemy warships in front were like being grabbed by two invisible hands and slammed into each other, smashing them to pieces.
The enemy also seemed to have discovered that there was something wrong with this assault ship, and intensive artillery fire was directed here.
"Xuanyin" released a powerful mental force, covering the impact ship with an extremely hard shell. All the artillery fire either bounced off automatically or slid away, one after another, exploding outside the ship.
Xuanyin looked outside through the screen, trying to see what the enemy warship looked like, but her vision was completely covered by artillery fire and she could not see anything.
Xuanyin suddenly felt a pulling force, and the surrounding scene began to become blurred.
It’s over!
Xuanyin took out the buckle of Shiji Niangniang's divine robe without hesitation and attached herself to the god!
The divine robe was slow to react for several seconds, and the purple gauze divine robe covered Xuanyin's body little by little. A thin purple divine power descended, which was very weak. This was probably related to the fact that she was now in her memory.
Because this is not the normal ruling area of the divine tower, the divine power borrowed is extremely small.
But it's enough.
Xuanyin grabbed the Taia sword from the air and slashed forward.
Snap! Snap!
The screen in front of her was shattered by her, and the next moment, she was exposed to space and countless artillery fire, but through the gaps in the artillery fire, she saw densely packed warships in the distance.
It has a magnificent appearance and a unique and gorgeous pattern similar to a badge of family crest.
This exaggerated painting style and this pattern seem vaguely familiar, as if I have seen them somewhere.
Suddenly, she noticed something and looked behind her.
Zhu Jierui was standing behind her, still wearing the same white feathers, with a look of shock on his face.
"T-These are your memories? How is that possible?"
She suddenly looked at Xuanyin and was shocked by her current appearance: "Empress Shiji? You are actually Empress Shiji!"
Looking at Xuanyin with her clothes fluttering and holding a long sword, she was completely stunned.
She had seen how powerful Niangniang Shiji was, and she knew that the grade of this divine clothing was top-grade.
Many people have disputes about what level the best quality is, and some people think that the best quality is below the super quality.
But Zhu Jierui had just participated in an analysis seminar specifically for Niangniang Shiji. All the participants in the meeting were experts and masters. The final conclusion of the meeting was that the best quality was definitely above the super quality, and it was a level that could not be matched by any current divine clothing.
She met Xuanyin's cold and emotionless eyes, and an unprecedented sense of crisis came over her. She shuddered, turned around and ran.
Xuanyin narrowed her eyes, flashed in front of Zhu Jierui, grabbed her neck, threw her hard and pressed her to the ground.
The surrounding scene shattered bit by bit like glass. After all the memory images disappeared, Xuanyin found that they had returned to the pure and spacious space before.
Obviously, because Zhu Jierui had withdrawn his divine power, the memory exploration was over.
Xuanyin looked at Zhu Jierui and said, "Have you finished exploring my memory?"
Zhu Jierui was strangled by her and could not move. She begged, "I won't say anything. I promise. Don't kill me."
Xuanyin raised an eyebrow: "Who said I want to kill you? If you die, won't those people outside let me go even more?"
Zhu Jierui's eyes showed joy.
However, Xuanyin said the next moment: "But I don't trust you either."
She waved her hand, and with a flick of her wide sleeves, the divine clothes on her body fell away, and her clothes and appearance returned to what they were before.
Zhu Jierui took the opportunity to stand up, but Xuanyin pressed another button of the divine robe without any gap.
Dark brown divine light descended.
Xuanyin stood up slowly, and her dress gradually took shape.
Zhu Jierui forgot to resist and stared at the scene in front of him in a daze.
When the divine light disappeared, Xuan Yin appeared in front of her. She was wearing a straw hairpin and a cloth skirt, but she was gorgeous and elegant. Her long black hair was softly folded in front of her chest. Her delicate eyebrows looked down at her condescendingly, with gentle compassion but also extreme ruthlessness, as if she was looking at a dead person who was about to embark on the road to rebirth.
She held a long-handled spoon in her hand, and in front of her was a pot, bubbling and steaming.
Zhu Jierui was fascinated by it because it was so beautiful. The aura around it was extremely contradictory yet fascinating.
But the next moment, she shuddered suddenly and instinctively sensed danger.
This kind of danger is different from the one faced with Niangniang Shiji. The latter is clearly powerful, with a cold murderous aura that comes towards you.
But the person in front of him at this moment made people feel weird and full of unknown horror.
Xuanyin raised her lips, scooped up a spoonful of soup with a long-handled spoon, and said quietly, "Drink this bowl of soup, and the past will be wiped out. Now you can go on your journey with peace of mind."
The voice seemed to have its own reverberation, as if floating over from a very far distance. As she spoke, the shadow of a bridge vaguely appeared behind her, with several twisted figures walking on it.
Zhu Jierui was sweating profusely. Fortunately, her mental strength was strong enough, otherwise she would have fainted from fright.
She dodged backwards, but Xuanyin grabbed her chin and poured the dark Mengpo soup into her mouth.
Xuanyin only felt that her divine power entered the other person's body and entered the deepest part of the spiritual sea. She quickly erased the picture that the other person had just seen.
It's as easy as an eraser erasing fresh pencil writing without even leaving a mark.
Xuanyin let go of Zhu Jierui, who fell to the ground and fainted.
Xuanyin looked down at her. The memories that shouldn’t have existed had been cleared, but how to explain this memory exploration?
Xuanyin thought carefully for a moment and decided to take a risk.
She searched her mind for her experiences in the fast-travel worlds and found one that could barely be applied to Cheng Xuanyin. She made some changes here and there, then used her mental power to penetrate Zhu Jierui's spiritual sea again and engrave this memory.
However, mental power is not as useful as divine power. How much impression Zhu Jierui will leave after waking up, or even whether he will have memory confusion, is not something Xuan Yin can decide.
…
Zhu Jierui woke up slowly and touched his head: "What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I'm in a trance?"
She saw Xuanyin lying on the ground with her eyes closed. She hurried over to check and confirmed that she was just fainted.
She recalled what she had just seen. It was a little messy and blurry, but she could barely grasp the general outline, so the task was completed.
A few minutes later, in reality, in the examination room, Zhu Jierui opened his eyes and exhaled. Others asked, "How is it going? Is it going well?"
"I've roughly seen her memory. I'll record it right away."
Zhu Jierui looked at Xuanyin, who was lying on the table and sleeping. "She also passed out in her dream world. She must have been unable to withstand the dual pressure of hypnosis and memory exploration."
"That's normal. Most people wouldn't be able to handle it. We'll find a divinely-possessed doctor to treat her."
The system listened to their conversation nervously, calling Xuanyint: "Host, host!"
Xuanyin responded consciously: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Oh, you're pretending to be dizzy. That's good. Keep pretending."
Xuanyin relaxed her consciousness and possessed two more spirits in a row. These two times were completely different from the previous ones. One was Shiji Niangniang and the other was Mengpo. Both were extremely heavy. She was also very tired, so she simply fell asleep.
When she woke up again, Xuanyin saw Cheng Shuhui and He Zhiyi.
She was stunned for a moment: "Mom, Cheng Shuhui? Why are you here?"
She looked around and it seemed to be a hospital ward.
He Zhiyi said in surprise: "You finally woke up, Mom and brother are here to take you home."
Xuanyin asked, "Can I go back now?"
Cheng Shu replied, "Yes, you can go back now. We received a notice from the Security Bureau to pick you up. They said that you have been temporarily cleared of suspicion. In addition, you are a little weak now, so they asked us to take you back to recuperate."
Xuanyin was helped to sit up. "So the suspicion is lifted now? What did they see in my memory?"
Cheng Shuhui shook his head: "We don't know either."
He Zhiyi asked: "How do you feel? Do you want to lie down for a while?"
Xuanyin said: "No need to lie down, let's go home now."
"Okay, then I'll go and handle the formalities right away." Cheng Shuhui hurried out and came back after a while, with Chao Yi also coming with him.
Chao Yi gently asked Xuan Yin, "How's your recovery? The doctor said you'll be feeling weak for a few days. It's a side effect of hypnosis, but it's nothing serious. If you feel any discomfort, please contact us and we'll send a doctor to your home."
Xuanyin thanked him and asked, "Why is my suspicion cleared? What did you see in my memory? Why do I still have no impression?"
As she spoke, she held her forehead, and her performance was very realistic.
Chao Yi said, "We've confirmed that you haven't recovered your previous memories in the three years since returning to the Federation, so your suspicion has been lifted. As for the memories of those years, they're not very important. Perhaps it's a good thing you can't remember them now."
He didn't say anything else, but Xuanyin knew it clearly.
In the memory she fabricated for Zhu Jierui, she was always locked up in a very dark place, and every day people whose faces could not be seen came to brainwash her and said some vague words, such as asking her to serve the country and sacrifice her personal happiness.
Then there was a long period of training, all kinds of training, the kind that trained her to become a death warrior.
In fact, these are all things she had experienced personally, but she changed some details to make them very realistic.
In addition, she also forged the content of mental training and divine clothing training.
Anyway, the training content is boring and long, and it is repeated monotonously, dull and painfully every day. I have been training like this since I was a child to an adult.
Finally, she forged a memory, which was that the person who trained her gave her an order: after arriving in the Federation, when Cheng Zixin needed her assistance, the organization would wake her up. At that time, she must regard Cheng Zixin as her master and obey her orders in everything.
So you see, what she learned was similar to the training intensity of special forces and special bodyguards, and there was nothing special about it at all.
The order she received did not ask her to do anything specific, but to become Cheng Zixin's assistant.
This means that after Cheng Zixin was eliminated, Xuan Yin's threat was also largely eliminated.
Therefore, it is easy to understand why the Security Bureau let her go.
She even felt that there was some pity in Chao Yi's eyes when he looked at her, and the tone of his voice was several degrees softer than during the previous interrogation.
From this change in attitude, Xuanyin knew that her plan was going smoothly and the hypnotist had received the false memories she gave him very well.
She even left herself a loose noose.
Even if she shows any extraordinary abilities in the future, she will have a good explanation.
As for whether there will be a day when the Xingluo people who have actually had contact with Cheng Xuanyin will appear and expose her lies?
That’s a matter for the future. Anyway, we have passed this hurdle.
Xuanyin was helped out by Cheng Shuhui, and the car was parked outside.
When I walked out of the gate, I saw several people in imperial military uniforms hurriedly walking into the hospital with tense expressions.
Xuanyin couldn't help but stop and looked at the uniforms of those people, feeling a little dazed.
This kind of luxurious and arrogant uniform style...
She suddenly realized why the style of the enemy fleet she saw in her memory seemed familiar. Wasn't that the exaggerated style of the Empire?
Her heart began to pound.
No way, it can’t be such a coincidence, right?
She suddenly thought of the medicine that smelled like her senior brother's blood, and her heart tightened. A guess popped up in her mind, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Cheng Shuhui asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so bad all of a sudden? Are you feeling unwell again?"
He Zhiyi also looked at her worriedly: "Why don't we go back and check again?"
Xuanyin calmed herself down, trying her best to put on a nonchalant expression. She stared at the figure passing by and asked, "No, I'm just a little dizzy... If I remember correctly, those people who passed by were wearing Imperial uniforms, right? Their uniforms were truly... dazzling."
Cheng Shuhui glanced back and said, "Yes, but to be precise, that is the uniform of the Imperial Guard. The Imperial Guard represents the face of the Imperial Family, so their uniforms are a bit more ornate than ordinary military uniforms."
Xuanyin pondered, "It seems the royal family is very particular about appearances."
All the fast-travel worlds she has visited, any one related to the royal family, whether modern, ancient, or interstellar, pays more attention to this.
So, is it really just a coincidence?
As she walked towards the flying car, she casually asked, "Why are the royal guards here?"
Cheng Shu replied, "Isn't this the best general hospital in the First Special Zone? The Imperial Prince Jin Keqi was seriously injured and is being treated here. It should be in the VIP building at the back. The entire building is dedicated to him alone."
"The prince is seriously injured?"
The three of them boarded the flying car. Cheng Shuhui, maneuvering it into the air, said, "Yes, it's a coincidence that the accident happened on the day you went to the Seventh Special Zone, right in the Ronghe Divine Tower Square. Shortly after that, Niangniang Shiji completed her reality verification. The Imperials still believe that Niangniang Shiji is responsible for Jin Keqi's injury."
Xuanyin: “…”
Oh, she remembered that when she went to do reality verification that day, she met a person. The person had long and strange horns growing on his head, and the horns were pointing at her. The person also wanted to attack her.
She later found out that the man with horns was Jin Keqi, but this matter was not important to her and she put it out of her mind.
She remembered that Jin Keqi was attacked by the divine clothes, right?
She asked, "Then how did he get so badly injured?"
Cheng Shu replied, "The Imperial delegation kept it a secret, but since many people were watching Lady Shiji at the scene, they captured a lot of footage. I only heard some of it in the Incubation Camp. It seems that Jin Keqi was possessing a piece of Imperial super-grade divine clothing at the time, and for some reason something unexpected happened, and the clothing backfired on him."
Was the divine robe he wore at that time actually a super-grade divine robe?
Xuanyin asked: "What divine clothing?"
"I don't know about that."
Xuanyin thought about it, and the matter became clear. At that time, the super-grade divine clothing reacted to her, and the reaction was too strong, far beyond Jin Keqi's ability to bear, so he suffered backlash.
But I didn't do anything at that time, so how could it cause the divine clothes to react?
This imperial man is a bit mysterious. It seems that I have to avoid him in the future, otherwise if he has a strong reaction in public, I won’t be able to explain it.
However, the doubt in her heart still lingered.
Suddenly, a ding-dong sounded: "There's new activity on your special attention."
Then Cheng Shuhui hurriedly turned on the computer.
Xuanyin looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Shuhui said excitedly, "It's Lady Shiji. Yesterday she announced that she would establish a school of mythological figures, and this post announced the first five pieces of divine clothing of this school."
Xuanyin glanced to the side, where the system's light ball was floating in the air. She twisted her fat body deliberately and said, "I'm efficient in my work."
Cheng Shuhui handed the flying car over to the autopilot and looked at the computer intently: "Shiji Niangniang, He Xiangu, Saltwater Goddess, White Snake, Meng Po... White Snake and Meng Po? What is this? Have they appeared before?"
Xuanyin also leaned over with a curious look: "I've only heard of the first two."
Cheng Shuhui immediately beamed with joy: "I've seen the Saltwater Goddess! Last time I was attacked by a nightmare beast at the Spirit Attachment Association, it was the Saltwater Goddess who appeared and saved us!"
Xuanyin: "How do you know it's the Saltwater Goddess?"
"Saltwater Goddess opened the authorization application channel yesterday, with pictures and introductions."
Cheng Shuhui excitedly pulled it out for Xuanyin to see.
He Zhiyi said with amusement: "When your brother talked about this, he got so excited that he seemed like a completely different person."
Cheng Shuhui chuckled, then said regretfully, "Unfortunately, the Saltwater Goddess' authorization threshold is S-level mental strength and A-level physique or above. I don't meet the requirements."
He Zhiyi comforted him, "There will be opportunities in the future."
Cheng Shuhui nodded: "I definitely will!"
Xuanyin looked at the two of them. They spoke so firmly and confidently. Did they mean they were sure they could get Duoduo's elixir?
She asked, "Is Cheng Zixin under control now? Is she still using He Xiangu?"
Cheng Shu replied, "They're using it. I heard they're hoping to redeem themselves with it, so they're working much harder than before, producing over a dozen a day."
Xuanyin: “…” Well, it can be considered as a kind of waste utilization.
After returning home, He Zhiyi held a small welcoming banquet for Xuanyin. After Xuanyin had a delicious meal, He Zhiyi urged her to go to rest.
As soon as she entered the room, Xuanyin asked the system, "How's Xia Chengying doing?"
System: "His brother's condition is currently stable, but he has asked many times when you can come over."
Xuanyin said, "Tell him I'm still out of town and it'll take some time."
She sat down, turned on her computer and started researching the imperial family.
The system flew over and said, "Why are you checking this all of a sudden? There's very little information about the Empire on the Federation network, especially on the Imperial Family."
Soon, a picture of the planet where the imperial family lived and a bird's-eye view of the imperial palace complex popped up on the page, along with some other pictures, which were indeed very few.
Xuanyin said, "I want to see the architecture, clothing, and style of spaceships and warships of the Imperial Family. By the way, does the Imperial Family have any emblems? Like a royal crest or something?"
System: "Let me check... Here, these are all the pictures, including the family crest. But didn't the emperors of the empire live longer starting with Emperor Xingtai? Then, Emperor Xingtai implemented a variety of comprehensive reforms, including changing the Jin family crest, the symbol of the royal family. It was said that this was to usher in a new era."
Xuanyin looked carefully at the pictures of spaceships and warships, and her first feeling was cold, iron-blooded, and murderous.
It is still very dazzling, but the overall body of the ship is mainly light, sharp and full of technology. It is a very high-end, gorgeous and cool style.
Instead of what I remember seeing, the overall shape was rounded, and the battleship even had many flashy patterns and decorations on its exterior, making it look exaggerated and clumsy.
Xuanyin looked at the styles of the imperial royal family and other people in the empire, and felt that they were vaguely similar, but could not be said to be the same.
