Chapter 235 The Indescribable Xu Lingqu
[Actively hunting mutant beasts is meaningless. You just need to bring back supplies. If infected humans appear, you don't need to enforce the law. Just let them join the laboratory.]
"I really don't know why you're so obsessed with killing the mutants. If we don't provoke them now and just hide, we won't be attacked, right?"
"The infected humans are actually quite pitiful. You law enforcement officers claim to be killing them for our benefit, but you could just hand them over to the lab, right? You're simply satisfying your desire to have the power over ordinary people."
"And you said you traveled through time after a sudden death. Given your abilities, it's unlikely that you were killed by a mutant without realizing it, right? So, it's very likely..."
Someone shot me in the back.
Master Duanmeng glanced at Xu Lingqu and didn't finish his words.
"Whether I go back or not depends on the situation." Xu Lingqu said calmly, "Why do you assume that I'm going back to save them? What if I go back to kill them all? You know, I really hold grudges."
Thinking back to when I called her cruel, she immediately retorted, Xu Lingqu really does hold a grudge.
Master Forging Dreams frowned.
"So when you're on a killing spree, if you come across a little beagle named New Structure, can you let it go?"
Xu Lingqu: ...
To be honest, Master Forging Dreams was a rather baffling person. How could he feel so comfortable calling her and Yinhe psychopaths?
"I don't plan to return to the Empire, at least not now." Xu Lingqu continued, "You're right. If I return to the Empire, under my leadership, the Empire should be able to destroy the Federation very quickly, and I will eventually become the so-called Xuanluo monarch..."
"Do you really think so? If you truly agree with the Empire's system and everything about it, then why have you stayed on the neutral planet all these years?"
She raised her eyelids and looked straight at him, and Master Duanmeng's heart skipped a beat.
"You...I..." He was suddenly speechless for a moment and didn't know how to refute Xu Lingqu's words. He had indeed maintained neutrality over the years. He himself had insisted on neutrality for so long. It was really awkward to suddenly persuade Xu Lingqu to return to the empire at this time.
"You five once owned three SSS-class mechas. Did the world ultimately develop in the direction you envisioned?" Xu Lingqu continued, "I thought you'd figured it all out through your past experiences."
"The history of the interstellar people must be created by them themselves. No one can truly be their savior. Ultimately, they can only rely on themselves to truly save them. I've actually heard from more than one person that I'm suited to be a monarch, because the world would be better if I led it."
Xu Lingqu's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Really? I'm an out-and-out dictator. To some people, my existence might be beautiful, but to those who oppose me, my existence is hell."
"You can't remove that group of people from the interstellar population, so it's a complete paradox to think that the world would be better off with me as monarch."
In Xu Lingqu's eyes, letting her be the monarch of this interstellar world again would be nothing more than the story of Lake Arden repeating itself.
She's tired of it.
"Besides, I believe I have done what I can for the Empire."
Xu Lingqu's life is also a life. She had gone into the wormhole explosion with the determination to die, and in the end, in her eyes, she had paid a price more painful than her own life.
Her gaze turned to Lumen beside her.
"As for the relatives and loved ones you mentioned, they've already passed the most grieving moment. My appearance at any point in the future will have the same effect. So I'm not in a hurry to show up in front of them. And if I really have to go back to Earth, suddenly appearing and disappearing, wouldn't that be a secondary trauma to them?"
Isn’t it suspected that Yinhe died on the way back to Earth?
"You have to admit that the Empire's determination to fight the Federation to the death is due to my 'death'. Even if I don't show up, they can still win this battle, so why not let them try it themselves?"
"For me, the most important thing now is always Lumen. You said that there is no material in the interstellar world that can heal its body, so I will find a way to take it to other galaxies and other civilizations. The universe is vast and boundless. Whether it is Earth or Xuanluo, it is not an isolated island. We can always find it."
Master Duanmeng fell silent. He looked at Xu Lingqu again. With just a few words, she overturned the image of herself in his mind.
He always thought that Xu Lingqu and Candice were very similar. Xu Lingqu was able to sacrifice himself to blow up the wormhole for the empire, and Candice was able to fight against the Galaxy and Caesar on her own for the Federation.
In Master Dream Forger's heart, Candice has always been a little silly. She has always dedicated herself to the ordinary people of the Federation, just like a candle burning its own life to illuminate everything around it.
She is a thorough idealist, and sometimes you can find that Candice has a sense of sacredness that completely sacrifices herself.
Master Dream Forger didn't want to criticize her. Among his former companions, he always liked to get along with Candice the most.
Being with her is like interacting with a small animal. You can absorb a lot of energy from her. She is always enthusiastic, cheerful and optimistic.
When he heard about Xu Lingqu's actions, he automatically put Xu Lingqu in Candice's shoes. As a result, Xu Lingqu gave him a blow as soon as they met. He was a man with a sharp tongue and would never let himself suffer any loss...
His initial impression changed after talking with Xu Lingqu. He felt that she was a person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. Her sharpness was just her performance. In fact, she was still very soft in nature.
But the Xu Lingqu in front of him now was completely different. Her essence was still cold, rational and sharp. This was her basic core as a person and also that side of her self.
Xu Lingqu seemed to have never lost herself, but she also never ignored the lives of others. These two contradictory points were consistent in her, Master Duanmeng thought.
"You are really... indescribable!" He sighed again, feeling as if he had aged ten years after tonight.
"As for the materials for lumens, there may be a place in the Xuanluo Galaxy that has extra ones." Master Duanmeng said a little hesitantly.
"Where?" Upon hearing this, Xu Lingqu became excited.
Master Duanmeng was a little speechless and said, "Merlin Manor was once the gathering place of the Feller family. The storage warehouse inside Feller Manor can be said to be an encyclopedia of the Xuanluo Galaxy. The old Feller had a collecting habit. Although those materials are useless in their eyes, they might be collected by him."
Even if Yudmerlin was crazy, he would not lose these things for no reason. The collection of the head of the Feller family is equivalent to the federal treasury.
"Then let's go. It just so happens that I still have a score to settle with Yude Meilin."
