Chapter 55 Calling Brother

Xie Er took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, so everything is just speculation."

"I've seen this symbol."

Even after many years, the memory of that night is still clear.

The mercenary's scarred face was clearly printed with this strange symbol.

It was like some kind of brand.

After escaping, Xie Er noticed a detail from the experimental report provided by Long Wensong before his death. This symbol was not only engraved on the faces of the mercenaries, but also appeared on the humans who participated in the experiment.

Tang Yichao stepped forward and looked at the somewhat blurry photo again.

What kind of symbol is this?

A red hexagram, with a beast with fangs in the middle of the hexagram.

Every corner of the hexagram is flowing with a red viscous liquid that looks like blood, which looks a bit oozing.

Long Yilan stood up suddenly, her brown eyes widened, and she pointed at the hexagram with her finger, her voice trembling slightly: "I remember! The hexagram!"

She turned her head and looked at Jiang Yunqi and Xie Er, and spoke out what she remembered like pouring beans, speaking quickly and urgently: "The old man said that the hexagram is a symbol unique to the royal family. The only difference is the color. When I was assassinated, the people who surrounded me had red hexagram badges on their waists!"

"Then it's connected. The people who are chasing you and those who are hunting me are all the same group of people." Xie Er sank his face, his eyes were as cold as ice, and he threw out a few words coldly from between his teeth, "You are really capable."

"I can now conclude that Ayun's matter is also related to them."

Jiang Yunqi knew more complicated and in-depth information than Xie Er and Long Yilan. He picked up the photo and gently stroked the symbol on it. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Thanks for their hard work."

"I have seen this symbol in the Marshal."

At that time, he had just stepped into the front line to fight.

"Marshal, this document..." Jiang Yunqi, who had just come of age, was not so expressionless. Distress and confusion flashed on his childish face.

The Marshal raised his eyes and laughed out loud: "What kind of document is this? It makes us Xingxing so entangled."

"Bring it to me quickly, or we will cry."

Jiang Yunqi: "..."

"Stamp?" The Marshal was still teasing Jiang Yunqi a second ago. When he saw the content of the document, his eyebrows raised, his face became serious, and he cursed: "Ridiculous!" He

read the document quickly.

With a "pop".

The Marshal threw the document on the desk, his face flushed with anger.

"Cough, cough, cough, this bastard, he only knows how to make trouble for me!" The Marshal had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was in a hurry to deal with affairs before his body was fully recovered. Now he was so angry that he coughed violently, and his whole chest was aching.

Jiang Yunqi hurriedly poured a cup of warm water, skillfully opened the medicine, and stepped forward to gently pat the Marshal's back.

"Don't be angry."

The Marshal held the table and sat down slowly. He drank a sip of water, swallowed the medicine, and held the document with a rope, and said hoarsely: "Xingxing, you talk about this document."

Jiang Yunqi said firmly: "I disagree."

The words on the document were dazzling. To sum up the content, it was a request from the nobles to restart human experiments.

"They...seem to have forgotten the catastrophe."

The catastrophe caused the deaths of countless people, corpses were everywhere, blood and flesh were flying everywhere. To sum it up in the words of the ancient Blue Star, it was hell on earth.

It took the empire several hundred years to recuperate before it regained its current prosperity.

Now, this group of people actually forgot that the source of the catastrophe was human experiments.

It is said that there was a genius madman who cruelly performed gland transplants in order to study Alpho, Omege and Beta mental power and pheromones.

He even created a humanoid killer army - advanced Alpho with glands all over their bodies.

At that time, people's understanding of mental power was not comprehensive enough, and they were suppressed for a time.

Coupled with the Zerg tribes eyeing them on the front line, they fell into a dilemma of being surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind.

It was not until scientists made mechas that the critical situation was saved.

Afterwards, the royal family, aristocratic families and other people in power signed a contract and ordered the empire to ban human experiments.

As time went on, this ban gradually showed signs of loosening.

From the initial total ban, to the gradual shift to the review system, and finally to the stage where the nobles apply for restart.

Humans are sometimes so conceited and foolish.

"The bottom line will retreat again and again." The marshal took a deep breath, shrouded in depression, and suddenly felt a lot more tired. "If I stamp the seal of approval today, there is no need to wait until tomorrow. Those good-for-nothings will immediately go to the garbage planet, arrest those homeless vagrants, and lock them up in dark laboratories."

The marshal seemed to have foreseen the future of the empire.

The document was crumpled into a ball and thrown on the ground. Jiang Yunqi glimpsed the symbol on the cover.

A beast imprisoned in the center of a bright red hexagram, its exposed fangs are like the ambition and greed of the noble families. They are gnawing at the foundation of the empire every moment.

Sooner or later one day...

no, the empire has already fallen.

Jiang Yunqi withdrew his thoughts, and deep in his heart there was an lingering haze.

"This symbol originally belonged to aristocratic families."

There was a toy puzzle that was almost completed on the coffee table. Jiang Yunqi picked up a piece and put it into the last gap. A clear voice rang out: "Xu Huili, he should have other clues in his hands."

He looked up, with complicated emotions in his eyes: "As for the obedient army that the prince mentioned."

Jiang Yunqi sneered: "Maybe he wants to recreate the catastrophe that once happened."

Long Yilan shuddered. The empire's record of this period of history was very detailed, and countless pictures and videos were hung high on the Star Network. That was a memory that every imperial person could not forget.

If the nobles and the royal family were really that crazy...

her expression suddenly turned cold.

"Eat something hot and go find Xu Huili tomorrow."

Gu Bingchen didn't know when he went to the kitchen to prepare the meal. The soft light from the dining room shone on the steaming food, adding a touch of warmth and temporarily sweeping away the dark clouds above his head.

The amount of information today was more or less astonishing. At the table, everyone was full of thoughts and said nothing.

Tang Yichao was in a good mood. After the initial worries, he now wanted to know what the future would be like.

He gnawed on the chicken feet, his eyes rolling around, looking back and forth between Jiang Yunqi and the other two, and finally stopped at Long Yilan.

Oh, who called Alan sister is the easier to talk to among the three.

"Sister Alan, do you really only eat nutritional supplements? What do nutritional supplements taste like?"

Tang Yichao could hardly imagine a world without food.

Long Yilan opened one hand, and a light pink nutritional supplement suddenly appeared in her palm. She stuffed it into Tang Yichao's hand and said vaguely: "You will know after you taste it yourself."

After opening the lid, a sweet strawberry scent spread out. Tang Yichao shook it, and the viscous liquid looked like strawberry-flavored sugar water.

"The taste... is so strange." Tang Yichao took a sip and her whole face wrinkled. "It's not unpalatable, nor is it delicious. Anyway, I won't want to drink it again."

"You don't have much left." Long Yilan rolled her eyes unhappily.

There are only a few boxes of stock in her space button, so she still keeps it just in case.

Although she would rather chew dry biscuits than drink a sip of nutritional supplements.

The dim moonlight shone into the dim room, and a figure stood in front of the French window, quietly listening to the sound of rain outside the window.

"It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Jiang Yunqi leaned sideways and looked at the door.

Gu Bingchen leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, his lips slightly raised, and teased: "Is there something on General Jiang's mind?"

"I think you may need a listener."

"Come in." Jiang Yunqi turned on the floor lamp in the room, and the soft light cast the shadows of the two on the white wall.

The door was closed by Gu Bingchen, blocking the cool breeze from outside.

"The cold air came very early this year. It was fine during the day, but it was a bit cold at night." He stared at Jiang Yunqi, who was only wearing a single layer of clothes, and frowned, "Put on a coat, be careful not to catch a cold."

Jiang Yunqi was pouring hot water, and the hot air made his glasses misty. Hearing this, a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "I just finished washing up, and I didn't have time."

"Tsk." Gu Bingchen sighed lightly, stood up, and without saying a word, picked up the coat on the sofa and put it on Jiang Yunqi, "Is it my fault that I came at the wrong time?" "

I didn't say that." Jiang Yunqi held the water cup and leaned back against the sofa.

Gu Bingchen: "How can I sleep after listening to you guys talking all day?"

Even Tang Yichao was still pestering Xie Er and Long Yilan in the living room downstairs, praying that the two would talk about the future.

The house was not soundproof, and Jiang Yunqi could vaguely hear Tang Yichao's energetic voice.

"Thank Xiao Tang for me."

He knew that Tang Yichao was just trying to liven up the atmosphere. After all, the topic they were talking about today was not a warm one.

Gu Bingchen curled his lips: "I also came here specially to comfort you, why don't you thank me."

Jiang Yunqi: "Then... thank you?"

Gu Bingchen helplessly rubbed his forehead: "You really are..."

"Do you have any other ideas?" He put away his lazy look, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, and murmured, "Compared to the great catastrophe over there, I wonder if our doomsday can be regarded as hell on earth."

Jiang Yunqi: "They are all disasters caused by human hearts."

Gu Bingchen raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you also believe that this doomsday is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"Too many coincidences." Jiang Yunqi drank a sip of warm water, "Brother Xie, have you seen the experimental data that Gu Hua brought from the Meicheng Research Institute."

"He said that these data are almost the same as the report he read that year."

It can be seen that the "obedient army" that the prince wanted was the zombies of Blue Star.

"How can he be sure that he can control these man-eating zombies?" Gu Bingchen was puzzled.

Jiang Yunqi shook his head: "I don't know."

"Maybe, something went wrong in the experiment." He pushed the frameless glasses on his nose.

Gu Bingchen noticed the glasses as soon as he entered the room. He asked casually, "This is the first time I see you wearing glasses. Where did you get them?"

Jiang Yunqi took off his glasses and said, "Brother Xie's."

"Oh, Brother Xie's." Gu Bingchen pursed his lips and couldn't help mumbling, "We've known each other for so long, and you call him Brother Xie all day long, but why don't you call me brother?"

Jiang Yunqi was surprised, "Brother Xie is much older than us."

"Then... that doesn't stop you from calling me brother."

He just felt a little sour in his heart, even sourer than the sour orange in the afternoon.

"If you have to count it this way, Gu Bingchen, you didn't call me brother." Jiang Yunqi suddenly raised his head, and his pair of black eyes looked directly at Gu Bingchen.

Gu Bingchen was silent for a while, and changed the subject abruptly: "It's getting late, I...I have to go back to my room, you should go to bed early, good night."

After saying that, he quickly got up and left, his back was quite stern.

The rain outside was getting heavier, the floor lamp was turned off, and the room fell into silence again.

In the darkness, someone smiled.
