After closing the team call, Wen Xihe looked at Li Chonghe and said, "Something's not right."
"What place are you referring to?" Li Chonghe immediately retorted.
“Chi Jiazhen’s attitude is strange,” Wen Xihe said immediately.
He actually didn't like Chi Jiazhen. In previous conversations, or whenever he appeared in places where Cen Yu was, he always looked pitiful and called out "Little Yu".
Even during the command process, he did not give up his habitual way of addressing her, but just now, when Cen Yu disappeared, Chi Jiazhen called out Cen Yu's name.
Although rationally, Wen Xihe felt that this made perfect sense—
After all, Cen Yu's sudden disappearance suggests he may have encountered danger, so it's not surprising that Chi Jiazhen changed her attitude.
But emotionally, Wen Xihe always felt that something was wrong. He always felt that he and Chi Jiazhen didn't get along, and even doubted the authenticity of her Beta identity...
Li Chonghe understood what Wen Xihe wanted to express, and he also understood why the other party had to end the call before speaking.
In the current context, suspecting a teammate, especially suspecting that someone's disappearance is related to one of the teammates, is clearly an inappropriate speculation.
Li Chonghe glanced at the address, opened the chat, said that he and Wen Xi were going to find Cen Yu, and then closed the call.
...But throughout this process, he felt a faint heat in the back of his neck and spine, as if something was about to burst out of his body.
...
Cen Yu looked at the broken signal and then came to this underground space.
"Do you think... Chi Jiazhen is really okay?" Cen Yu suddenly started whispering to the system.
It's no wonder he's suspicious. After experiencing the previous few instances, he's gotten used to the protagonist's cunning and ruthless nature. It's impossible for him to think that Chi Jiazhen is really some innocent and pure little white flower.
[Reporting to the host.] The system, which had disappeared for some time, has reappeared. [Currently, the plot deviation is still within a controllable range.]
[I hope Chi Jiazhen is... alright?]
Big Fat Cat himself felt guilty saying it, but the problem is that in the novel, from beginning to end, Chi Jiazhen is portrayed as an inspirational character who seems to have suffered persecution and oppression from a scumbag boyfriend until she entered the Imperial Military Academy and realized her own value.
Cen Yu already knew that this broken system was completely unreliable.
He carefully recalled the novel's plot... Unfortunately, he logged off too early, and could only see some vague outlines of the subsequent plot, without any detailed scenes.
For example, the old emperor did abdicate later in the novel, but because Chi Jiazhen herself did not have a deep connection with the royal family, it was only mentioned briefly in the background. The old emperor abdicated, and a new emperor was chosen, and it was someone no one expected.
Wen Xihe became a major general in the Fifth Legion. After joining the Fifth Legion, the Twilight Valkyrie became his mecha, but it was only a brief appearance in the background when Chi Jiazhen was in command.
After he was captured by the Zerg, the Imperial Military Academy tried to rescue him... but Cen Yu was not from a prominent family, and his reputation within the academy was poor. In the end, they had no choice but to give up after failing to find any trace of Cen Yu.
The crisis on Planet Nott only began after Chi Jiazhen graduated from the Imperial Military Academy and everyone joined the Fifth Legion.
"Do you think that lab is here?" Cen Yu asked the system.
"The underground structure in the desert looks exactly like the legendary secret laboratory."
Although the fat cat didn't know if this place was related to the secret laboratory, it did know some new information—
"The eldest prince has woken up," the fat cat prompted. "But something seems to have gone wrong."
"What?" Cen Yu continued walking into the underground space.
"I heard the Crown Prince has become an Omega." The fat cat calmly dropped a bombshell.
“…Huh?” Cen Yu paused, almost thinking he had misheard.
"There really is secondary differentiation??"
The eldest prince firmly believes this is a conspiracy. The fat cat said, "He even thinks the testing equipment is malfunctioning..."
[Based on the test results, the Crown Prince's pheromones are fluctuating wildly, suggesting he may be about to enter his heat cycle.]
"..." Cen Yu thought about that scene and couldn't help but tremble.
“Now that the eldest prince has become an Omega, wouldn’t the probability of Li Chonghe and his sister inheriting the throne be even greater…” He said this subconsciously, but after he finished speaking, Cen Yu fell silent for a second.
He stood frozen in the pitch-black underground space, where he could only hear his own heartbeat—
He knew it might be an illusion, but he was still surprised and incredulous by the guess.
"Was it Cen Shen who concealed Chi Jiazhen's Omega identity when she enrolled in school?" Although he asked this question, Cen Yu already knew the answer the moment he asked it.
The item that allowed Chi Jiazhen to disguise herself as a Beta was provided by Cen Shen.
He had been wondering why Cen Shen and Li Chonghe knew each other in the original work... Even though Li Chonghe had an excellent reputation among the people, there was simply no way the two of them could have met.
The two were not close in age, and Cen Shen had always pursued a scholarly path. In addition, the Cen family was not a prominent family in Xingdu, so he should not have met Li Chonghe, who was the second prince.
"...Are they researching a gender-altering drug?"
Even though the answer was so close, Cen Yu still found it unbelievable.
The main reason is that in his impression, Cen Shen has always been an old-fashioned person, so how could he have such a crazy scientist-like character?
Besides, given Cen Shen's current age, when should he start doing this research?
