The system cleaned up the memory and found an [Isufro] that should have been destroyed in this world - Vasily really stuffed the entire library of a lost civilization into TY-376806's brain.
Of course, for the system, this kind of "low-level civilization" information is of no use other than taking up memory. But when it was about to clean it up with a curse, it was temporarily stopped by Chu Lu.
After learning about this, Chu Lu has actually been thinking and hesitating.
The taskers who enter the small world cannot interfere too much with the development process of the small world. The development level that is forcibly improved by external forces will be harmful to the self-improvement of the world in the long run. But the current situation is different. [Isuflo] is originally a product of this world...
So...should we take advantage of it?
[Shatterstar] also had an internal dispute before destroying [Isuflor].
"Knowledge" itself is neither right nor wrong. The ones who have right or wrong are always the people who use it.
However, the control of [Isuflor] is firmly in the hands of [Starborn]. If it continues like that, it will be just like what happened with Gallagher, but it is likely that it will not just be uninhabited satellites that will be destroyed next.
So... I finally made that decision.
But now——
[Isuflor] originally belonged to this world, and perhaps he could keep it again.
And Mingzhao...Chu Lu believed that he must be the "right" person.
It's not just because the other party is the son of destiny favored by the world's consciousness, but because he is "Ming Zhao" - the "Ming Zhao" who developed [Shattered Star] and changed the world's pattern for hundreds of years.
Chu Lu actually made the decision very quickly, but because his body was still in the process of repairing and his consciousness was intermittent, a considerable amount of time actually passed in reality.
By the time he was able to have a formal talk with Mingzhao, his body's repair had been completed and it was time for him to come out of the treatment chamber.
"About [Isoflorus]..."
It was obvious that Mingzhao and Vasily had already discussed this issue that time. Chu Lu was sure that the other party already knew the general situation, so he did not beat around the bush at this time.
But when Mingzhao heard him say that, he waved his hand to interrupt him, "Don't worry about that for now, take a look at this first..."
As he spoke, he transferred a document over using the light brain, then looked up at Chu Lu with an expectant smile on his face and a hint of urging in his eyes.
Chu Lu:?
Although he was still a little confused and even had a bad premonition, out of trust in Mingzhao, he chose to accept the document and open it under the other party's silent urging.
Chu Lu: "..."
When I saw the first line of the document, the ominous premonition came true.
He quickly lifted the system's mute function to avoid receiving a second wave of shocks from the system like the time when Vasily called himself "father".
After that, he read the document carefully again to make sure that he had not input too much information and his eyes had finally become damaged.
——This is an adoption agreement.
And he, "Ling Lu", was the adopted one.
Chu Lu: "..."
“…………”
This long silence finally dimmed the expectant smile on Mingzhao's face. He sighed and asked, "You really don't want to change your name?"
The man lowered his head with a bit of regret, "I think 'Ming Lu' sounds good... Jiu also said that he will change it with you..."
Chu Lu took a deep breath and felt a slight pain in his head.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was because the amount of information I took in was too huge and shocking, or because the system in my sea of consciousness was protesting against being banned.
——Is this a question of changing the name? !
#I treat you as a friend, but you actually want to be my dad! ! #
Chu Lu, who had just been forced to lose a friendship, stared at the "12" in the age column of the "Adoption Agreement" and fell silent again. If it was calculated based on the years from the birth of this body to the present, this was indeed correct, but...
Mingzhao knew, right? The experimental subject had already reached adulthood after leaving the incubator, both mentally and physically, so... didn't he feel guilty when he wrote "12"? And would anyone really believe it?
No, wait…
Chu Lu suddenly thought of the blonde lady he saw last time when he just woke up, and her ambiguous words "She is so tall".
Chu Lu: "..."
Is there anyone who actually believes this?! #瞳孔地震.jpg#
Chu Lu finally insisted on not changing his name.
Of course, it wasn't that he was obsessed with his own name - after all, every small world had to change its name, so he didn't really care what he was called - but, with the surname Mingzhao... forget it,
No wonder when we were doing the mission that year, I always felt that something was not right when we were getting along with each other, and sometimes I felt that the other party's attitude was subtle.
Now seeing this "adoption agreement", the truth is finally revealed -
That was clearly the look she gave her son.
Chu Lu: "..."
Over there, the system had decisively put Mingzhao on the blacklist, and his ranking on its revenge list was even higher than Servis, who had stabbed Chu Lu.
After Chu Lu's physical condition improved slightly and he was able to accept visits, the latter came over immediately to apologize for what happened that year.
For Chu Lu, who had already learned the whole story from Mingzhao, Servis's actions at the time were reasonable. Chu Lu even had to thank the coincidental timing for not letting the other party see the content of Mingzhao's subsequent message - of course, perhaps there was also the interference of world consciousness.
Being stabbed and then successfully determined to be a "betrayal" is much more relaxing than the other party really doing what Mingzhao said and "finding a way to bring him back". If he was really brought back to [Shattered Star] at that time, I don't know how the plot line will proceed.
However, the specific reason could not be explained to the people in the small world, so Chu Lu simply accepted Servis' apology and advised him not to take it to heart. However, judging from his expression, it seemed that it did not have much effect.
Chu Lu: "..."
Although he was the one who was stabbed, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he saw the other person's attitude.
However, the conscience of the employees of the Space Bureau had been worn out by the long years of missions, so Chu Lu only felt guilty for a few seconds, and then simply let it go. Anyway, he was here well now, and even if he really had some knot in his heart, it would be untied sooner or later over time.
What bothered him even more was that he was decisively identified as a "minor".
Chu Lu: ...It’s impossible to change the name.
But the custody rights still fell to Mingzhao.
Chu Lu tried to refute Ming Zhao's approach with a real example, "Ling Jiu's situation is not much different from mine."
In fact, the other party was an experimental subject who was born after him. In terms of age, he was several months younger than him.
Then the next day, Chu Lu witnessed a young man with silver hair and silver eyes, who looked cold and like a sharp blade out of its sheath, calling him "father" expressionlessly.
Chu Lu: "..."
...This is too much effort.
He decisively turned his head away to avoid Mingzhao's expectant look, and never mentioned the change of custody again.
Isn’t it just “custody”... It’s easier to accept than calling him “father”.
Of course, the age information on the file was finally changed to twenty after mutual compromise between the two parties.
No matter what, twelve years old is too unreliable. I can explain it to the core members of the original [Shattered Star] who know the inside story, but it doesn't make sense to others...
As for the fact that Mingzhao's assistant named Shana actually believed this sincerely, Chu Lu still can't understand it.
Although it was indeed difficult to describe these aspects, the two of them quickly reached a consensus on "Isufro". This was not difficult for Chu Lu - the relevant information on technological changes was easy to find in the Space Bureau, and he had experienced many similar situations in the mission world, and he had enough experience in how to control the degree of development and prevent the entire society from being turbulent due to drastic changes.
He develops plans, makes minor adjustments based on more specific circumstances, and then has other people execute them.
For a moment, he vaguely returned to the situation when he was still in the inner base of [Shattered Star].
And because of Vasily's particularly straightforward explanation, the hunt for the remnants of the [Star Clan] went much faster than planned. The assassinations against Mingzhao finally became less and less frequent, and finally almost disappeared. Ling Jiu no longer had to follow Mingzhao around as a bodyguard at all times.
Because of his physical perception, Chu Lu actually doesn't go out very often, and he deliberately reduces the amount of information he is exposed to.
He mostly judged the changes in the outside world through the limited information he had access to. For example, the decrease in assassinations against Ming Zhao was inferred based on the sudden increase in the number and duration of Ling Jiu's visits to him during that period.
Unfortunately, he had figured out something else recently.
He looked at the person opposite him, who had forcibly cut off the work network on the pretext of "combining work and rest" and was trying to start some "parent-child time". Next to him stood Ling Jiu, who subconsciously maintained a guarding posture due to his habit from previous years.
Chu Lu: "..."
To be honest, there is nothing strange about Mingzhao's behavior today.
After the new alliance was on track, the leader of the alliance, who had been the pillar of everyone and shouldered the heavy burden for many years, seemed to relax all of a sudden. Although he did not resign due to the unanimous vote of opposition from the parliament, he had visibly entered a state of retirement.
For example...
It often happens like today, not only do I avoid work, but I also drag others into slacking off.
But the date is wrong...
Although it was clearly stated as "retirement care", this person's natural sense of responsibility was not so easily eroded.
Now that the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the New Alliance is approaching, the Alliance Leader suddenly disappeared, and no one knows how much trouble this will bring to subsequent work - Ming Zhao is definitely not the kind of person who will actively cause trouble to others, or on the contrary, he is always the one who solves problems.
After knowing each other for so many years, Chu Lu didn't suspect that the other party was trying to do anything bad, but he just felt it was a little strange.
So he just asked, "What did you do?"
Ming Zhao smiled bitterly when he heard this, "I can't hide it from you... I thought I could at least drag it out until today."
He didn't say what it was, but asked curiously, "How did you find out?"
Chu Lu told him about the date issue.
Mingzhao seemed stunned for a moment, "I thought you didn't care much about these things."
After all, I didn't see any special reaction from him on the anniversaries in previous years.
Chu Lu gave him a silent look -
"Care or not" and "know or not" are two completely different things.
Mingzhao obviously understood what he didn't say.
He seemed to be in a much better mood because of the conversation just now. The gentle smile that always appeared on his lips deepened a little. He didn't say anything more, but just gestured for him to open the light computer and take a look.
The 10th anniversary of the founding of the New Alliance is approaching, and the white flying swallow logo on the New Alliance flag is everywhere on StarNet.
Chu Lu easily found the one he wanted among the complicated messages on the optical brain. This was not difficult. Since Mingzhao was also involved, it must be the official business of the alliance. Chu Lu simply went to the official website of the alliance. His account was of course an internal account, and he saw much more content and messages than ordinary people, but with just a glance, Chu Lu immediately found his target.
Chu Lu: "File declassification?"
Could it be... "Ling Lu"'s?
Mingzhao nodded and explained: "Of course not all the files... only part of the content..."
After all, whether it was the matter of the experimental subjects or the later [Isufro], they were not suitable for disclosure to the public...but other content could begin to be released.
"This is a proposal from Servis and Antang."
The latter is the real undercover agent who stayed on the starship too long and almost caused Chu Lu’s mission to fail.
Although they didn't have much interaction, this person was the one who left the deepest impression on Chu Lu in this world besides the Child of Destiny, even though the other person was not using the name he had in [Star Descendants] now, but had changed back to his mother's surname.
Chu Lu immediately understood what they wanted to do.
——It is to clarify the fact that he is wanted by the New Alliance.
But he felt it didn't matter and was unnecessary.
After all, he is staying well on the capital planet now, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he is wanted or not.
Just as he was thinking this, a big, broad hand fell on his head. Mingzhao seemed to sigh silently and rubbed the soft black hair with a little force.
Chu Lu: "..."
Although they could get along as friends most of the time, whenever the other party did this kind of thing, he couldn't help but think of the terrible identity of "former guardian".
Ling Lu, who has reached the "age of independent survival" under the new alliance law, has of course long since left the guardianship relationship, but the elder status assumed by someone seems to be a little bit deeply rooted.
Mingzhao was unaware of Chu Lu's silent protest. He narrowed his eyes and said softly, "We have to make them do something."
"…Also, even though you don't care, no one wants to see this kind of thing."
Because of Ling Lu's special situation, after he returned to the alliance, his protection level was immediately raised to the same level as Ming Zhao. All information was kept highly confidential, even the news that he had returned.
Therefore, the wanted notice for "Ling Lu" has not been withdrawn.
He, they don't want to...
After this kid had done so much for [Shattered Star] and the New Alliance, he was still mentioned as a wanted criminal and a recognized traitor of the Alliance...
In the early years, because of the [Star Clan], we could only do this reluctantly for the other party's safety.
But now, they have to justify it.
"You're worth it."
Deserves better treatment.
