Dream Technology (15)
The person lying on the ground had stopped breathing and became a corpse that could never come back to life.
Shi Jianxia moved her lips, wanting to ask what the doctor meant by his last words.
But there was no way he could get up and tell her.
After several seconds of silence, Shi Jianxia lowered his eyes, took away the doctor's ring and space bracelet in front of Lei Xin and the other three, and had no intention of handing them over to the Zerg Investigation Office.
The space bracelet is not like an intelligent computer. It needs to identify the wearer's identity before it can be opened. After Shi Jianxia picked it up, he probed into his mental power and took a rough look at the items inside.
What attracted her attention most were undoubtedly the star cores stored in the crystal storage box. One was emerald green and the other was dark blue. They were the fourth and sixth star cores.
Including these two, Shi Jianxia has a total of six star cores in his hands. The remaining one is most likely the seventh star core, and he doesn't know where to find it. However, the existing six should be enough to upgrade "Shan Hai Jing" to level 3S.
The doctor probably never dreamed that after all his scheming and thinking he had everyone in his hands, he would eventually fall victim to the induction between the star core fragments and the star core.
This is also a different kind of cleverness that backfires, right? If he had been a little more cautious, Shi Jianxia would have continued to live in fear.
Suppressing the complicated emotions in his heart, Shi Jianxia stared at No. 2's body for a while. After making sure that there was no possibility of saving him, he put him in a plastic bag, then put him in a storage box, and put him into the space bracelet.
The nine-tailed fox lay in her arms, no longer as listless as before, its little ears twitching. When it noticed that she had not burned the body of No. 2, its large glazed eyes blinked curiously.
The little fox also knew that the reason why Shi Jianxia grabbed it before was because if it rushed forward, it might not be able to swallow the black vortex, and it might even be injured by the doctor. It was just because of the desire to compete with Xixi and the desire to meow as soon as possible that it wanted to eat a lot. Now that it has recovered, it will naturally not be in a bad mood anymore.
Shi Jianxia touched its little head soothingly.
The nine-tailed fox shook its furry tail, climbed up her arm and onto her shoulder obediently, then turned its head to look at the black vortex controlled by the power of the star core.
Shi Jianxia did not intend to completely swallow the black vortex. If his speculation was correct, it was the source of the doctor's power, and its function was similar to the vortex of high-level Zerg.
The black vortex did not disappear, and she was not sure whether the Doctor was really dead. After all, Number Three, his only spare tire for rebirth, had not appeared yet.
She was also unsure whether the Jade Plate would collapse and cause irreversible consequences after the Doctor's power was completely devoured by the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
If she wants to get rid of the black vortex, she must at least wait until she has dealt with the jade card, so as to maximize the safety of Bai Xiaojiu, his father and others.
The more troublesome thing is that she doesn't know whether any Zerg will come out from inside. This black vortex similar to a worm vortex is obviously of a high level. If it becomes a channel for the Zerg to invade the human world, she will not be able to stay there for long.
Lei Xin watched her put away No. 2's body and frowned, "Aren't you going to destroy it? The doctor is very cunning, and you never know what he might have up his sleeve."
Shi Jianxia shook his head. "The body is in the space bracelet. Even if he was pretending to be dead, he should be dead by now."
As we all know, the space bracelet cannot store living things. Living things sent in will die immediately.
As she spoke, her gaze fell on the black vortex in front of her.
Rather than a corpse that could be discarded at any time, Shi Jianxia felt that if the doctor really had a backup plan, it should be on the black vortex.
She used her intelligent brain to contact Zhuang Mingyue, who had just left the private residential area in the battle, and asked her to pick up Bai Xiaojiu and others immediately and prepare a sufficient number of insect crystals.
In order to avoid any more trouble, she would get rid of the jade token that was like a rope around the necks of Bai Xiaojiu and others today while the effect of [Immortal Gods] was still there.
-
During the waiting process, the black vortex did not move at all. Because it was imprisoned by the power of the star core, it no longer rotated, like a stopped clock.
Zhuang Mingyue contacted his confidant to bring No. 10 and others over, and personally led people to carefully search the duplex villa and the secret laboratory underground.
Before the search here was finished, Assistant Li, who had stayed in the Zerg Investigation Office, brought over a metal box.
The box was bright silver, with the Dream Technology logo on it. In the groove just above it was a card with a line of handwritten words on it.
Personally addressed to Deputy Director Zhuang Mingyue.
The signature is Yuanjia.
Assistant Li said, "This box was delivered to the Zerg Investigation Office by Nan Tengxing Express over ten minutes ago. Because it specifically states it's for you and is related to Dream Technology, I didn't dare open it rashly, unsure if there's any danger."
Zhuang Mingyue was a little puzzled. She and Yuan Jia had no connection at all, so why would he specifically send her something? Moreover, this express delivery was delivered after his death.
Although she was doubtful, her decades of experience as an investigator allowed her to smell something unusual, and she immediately asked the on-site technical team to come and open the box.
After a while, the metal box was opened, and inside was a chip and a jade token that Zhuang Mingyue was very familiar with. The number three was engraved on the back of the jade token.
Shi Jianxia saw it and immediately walked over, followed by Lei Xin and the other four.
Zhuang Mingyue was also stunned when she saw the jade token. After putting on gloves and carefully examining it, she confirmed that it was a genuine jade token. An idea suddenly occurred to her, "Could Yuanjia be number three?"
Not only Shi Jianxia, but also Zhuang Mingyue was confused about the doctor's sudden appearance on Nan Teng Star.
The news of Nan Teng Star clearing the sea area spread almost throughout the entire federation. The Zerg Investigation Office and the military dispatched a large number of manpower. There was no need for the doctor to rush over and seek death at this critical juncture, but he did come.
Using the saying that the most dangerous place is the safest place to explain it obviously does not fit his situation at the moment.
Unless he has a purpose for coming to Nan Teng Star.
Is it Dream Technology?
It is very likely that Yuanjia betrayed him, leading to his killing spree here.
Shi Jianxia pointed to the chip in the box and said, "Perhaps the answer to the question is in here."
Ultimately, associations and divergences are just unfounded guesses. Since Yuan Jia sent the jade token and the chip to Zhuang Mingyue, he probably expected that he would not be able to survive the doctor's hands, so he kept a trick up his sleeve.
Zhuang Mingyue followed her instructions and placed the chip on the smart brain. A light blue virtual screen popped up immediately. After the chip's encryption system recognized her facial features and confirmed that they were correct, a video popped up first.
The person in the video was Yuan Jia. He was sitting at his desk in a suit and tie, and he said straight to the point, "Hello, Director Zhuang. I'm Yuan Jia, Chairman of Dream Technology Group, and also the holder of the Higanbana Jade Token No. 3."
"I'm sorry to be so slow to confess this to you. I have no other choice. I have the following to say about you, Doctor..."
"First, Hua Beichen, the chief researcher of Dream Technology's semi-parasitic resuscitation treatment chamber, is the doctor. After my wife became a semi-parasite, he found me and, under the pretext of researching the semi-parasitic resuscitation treatment chamber, he worked with me to develop the project. We achieved a breakthrough, but because of this, I became Higanbana's lackey."
"Secondly, my son Yuan Huai knew nothing about this. Please don't blame him. I'm willing to offer all of Dream Technology's research data over the years, including research related to semi-parasitic mimicry awakening technology, and I request leniency towards him."
"Third, the doctor once captured a butterfly-faced man. I'm not sure what specific research project he conducted, but in the end, he dug out the insect crystals in the butterfly-faced man's body and devoured them, gaining the ability to summon insect vortexes."
"Fourth, the doctor has been researching how to travel to the Zerg Universe through the Worm Vortex, sending researchers and people with special abilities one after another, but there's been no response yet. I once thought this research was pointless, but he firmly believes that humans can return after traveling to the Zerg Universe. I suspect someone he knows may have accomplished this."
"Fifth, there seems to be someone behind the doctor. I once overheard him respectfully addressing someone as 'you' during a communication..."
The video recorded by Yuanjia is short and simple, but the amount of information it contains is shocking.
Shi Jianxia's heartbeat quickened, and she couldn't help but think of what the doctor said before he died -
If you knew, your death would be near.
Could the person behind the doctor be her mother?
The woman who went to the star core altar that the Jun family offered to Jun Xiaoyi's father ten years ago seemed to exist only in Jun Xiaoyi's childhood memories and has never appeared since then.
Shi Jianxia was extremely confused. She had never been so eager to know anything about her mother as she was now.
Just as she was at a loss of what to do, a clear and arrogant young man's voice rushed over, "Hei Xiaoqi! What are you thinking about? I called you several times and you didn't hear me?"
Bai Xiaojiu didn't know when he came. Relying on being taller than her, he crossed his arms and looked down at her condescendingly, looking very arrogant.
Gongye Jiwang stood beside him, frowning slightly, looking at her with a hint of worry in his eyes. After meeting her gaze, he quickly suppressed the emotion in his eyes and smiled, saying, "Xiaojiu and I have brought Major General Xia here."
He turned sideways and pointed at the hovercraft parked not far away. A majestic white tiger was lying in the hovercraft, guarding the treatment cabin in front of it. Xia Yuanji was lying flat inside, as if he was asleep, with a calm and peaceful expression.
On the other side of the treatment cabin, the gloomy No. 4 obediently placed his hands, which were wearing special bracelets, on his knees, and he was very aware of being a prisoner.
Shi Jianxia's heart suddenly relaxed, and he smiled faintly, "I'm fine."
Dad said that Mom was gentle and loved to laugh, and he loved her very much. He also said that he wanted to go to the Zerg universe to find Mom. But what the Doctor said might not be credible. With his character of wanting to create chaos in the world, there was a high probability that he was misleading her.
When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. No matter who is standing behind the doctor, without the doctor's gun, he will sooner or later reveal his true colors.
Bai Xiaojiu said in a very cold voice, and began to glance around. "Where's the doctor? Did you kill him? If not, I want to go and kill him twice."
Shi Jianxia held his forehead and said, "He's dead."
Gongye Jiwang pursed his lips and smiled, raising his hand to brush away a streak of ashes from her bangs. "I'm glad you're okay. Shall we go see Major General Xia?"
The cool touch of the fingertips brushed across his eyebrows. Shi Jianxia thought of the crowd of people standing around and blushed for a rare moment. For a moment, he ignored all the messy speculations and nodded randomly.
Gongye Jiwang took her hand and walked towards the hovercraft as if no one was around, under Bai Xiaojiu's not very friendly gaze.
Feeling completely ignored, the other three, including Lei Xin, narrowed their eyes and carefully looked at this young man who had been quite law-abiding during his time from the Capital Star to Nan Teng Star.
The mermaids are indeed good at using their beautiful appearance to bewitch people!
