Chapter 54
Thrown aside and unable to move, Jayol weighed the strength of both sides and calmed down after realizing that he was no match for the intruder.
"Although I don't know how you sneaked into Tianyun Star and broke into the base, you will be discovered soon..." He tried to appear non-threatening and spoke calmly and gently.
"If someone hires you to infiltrate Tianyun Star to do something, I can hire you for double the price!"
"Or maybe you want to get something from Tianyun Star... It's not impossible to discuss it. There's no need to make the situation so bad, right?" Jayol showed a very natural smile that looked fake at first glance.
It is not easy to break into Tianyun Star, and it is even more difficult to enter the base without being discovered. The situation is so bad that no one can do anything but accept the defeat.
Just like the one-horned man and the Ikar people that Qi Heng had encountered before, it only took them a second to nail Qi Heng's identity as an "outsider".
Perhaps they had different guesses about Qi Heng's origins and identity, but they all confirmed that he was an outsider and had nothing to do with the Tianjia Zerg in the farm.
——There was absolutely no way that the Zerg could easily subdue them on the imprisoned Tianyun Star! If there were any Tianjia Zerg, they would have rebelled long ago.
Jayol waited for a long time but received no response from the intruder, and the smile on his face gradually faded.
Qi Heng, who was looking at the sleeping female insect with his back to Jayol, easily untied the metal ring fixed on the female insect's wrist.
It was obvious that he had no intention of paying any attention to what Jayol said.
When Jayol saw this, his face couldn't help but twist for a moment.
He thought that he could get whatever he wanted on Tianyun Star, and even people sent by the main civilization had to be polite to him. It had been a long time since he felt ignored.
Qi Heng took the silver metal shackles in his hands and weighed them. Unlike the restraint ring used on Eli, this thing was an upgraded top-of-the-line version of the restraint ring. In addition to suppressing the flow of star power, it was also very effective in restraining mental power.
With his memory of last week, he knew very well that the female insect in front of him was different from the female insects outside... The insect wings had not been castrated, possessed mental power and star power, and at the same time condensed the star core that a normal female insect should have.
This is what a female Tianjia insect should look like.
But there is always a price to pay for every gain. Jayol took great pains to create a 'normal female insect', which was certainly not out of kindness.
Qi Heng's gaze fell on the female insect's bulging belly, and he thought coldly that the things inside shouldn't exist.
- Embryo experiments, attempting to break the taboos of the Tianjia civilization and breed offspring of the Tianjia Zerg and other races. It is unknown how many experiments were conducted to produce such a weird little monster.
"Your Mightiness……"
When one's life is in the hands of the other party, even the most arrogant person will bow his head, and Jayol is no exception.
It is not difficult to guess the purpose of the outsiders who enter the Lost Star Zone.
Jieyueer was confident that the other party would definitely make a deal with him. After all, there were only two people on the entire Tianyun Star who possessed what they wanted. Jieyueer didn't think the other party would resort to radical means when there was an easier way to achieve their goal.
Then the confident Jayol was slapped hard by reality.
"Be quiet."
The intruder, who had his back to him, turned around, holding the barrier ring taken from the experimental subject in his hand, and looked down at him with a pair of ink-black eyes.
Lying on the ground, Jajoel froze when he saw the barrier ring in the intruder's hand. Even the most effective barrier ring required using mental power to unlock it along a specific trajectory; otherwise, it would either self-destruct or become useless. How did the intruder know the unlocking trajectory he had set?!
Only I know the unlocking trajectory of the barrier ring, and there is no possibility of leakage... What is going on?
In a trance, Jayol met the intruder's eyes. There was no extra emotion in those eyes. They looked at him as if he were looking at a useless piece of garbage.
The moment this thought came to his mind, he found it unbelievable.
——Useless garbage?
——No! Impossible!
Given my status, how could I possibly be completely useless in the eyes of this intruder? He must be acting that way on purpose...
Qi Heng looked at Jayol who was lost in some emotion, restored the barrier ring in his hand to the factory settings, reset the unlocking track, then leaned over and grabbed Jayol's handcuffs behind his back.
"I have no interest in you, and I have no plans to send you to death for the time being."
After Qi Heng finished speaking, he dragged Jie Yueer to the side, raised his hand and hit him hard on the back of the neck, knocking Jie Yueer unconscious.
In the previous copy cycle, he spent a lot of effort to subdue Jeyol. Later, because Jeyol refused to cooperate and dared to resist, and in order to pry more information out of Jeyol's mouth, he even used torture.
Although the torture was brutal, the result was good. Jayol almost confessed how many times he had wet the bed as a child.
Qi Heng felt the female insect's pulse.
[Is it possible to know when he wakes up?]
A0 was glad that he had checked the female insect's body when scanning and creating a file for it, and now he could answer the Lord's question.
[He was injected with a sleeping drug by Jeyol. He would have been unconscious for about an hour, but after the barrier ring was removed and the star power began to flow, he should be able to wake up within half an hour.]
[In that case, let's deal with the other two first.]
Qi Heng took out a spare barrier ring and two injections of super-strong anesthetic from the cabinet next to him. Don't ask him how he knew so much about the placement of items and drugs in the laboratory. It was because Jayol told him to do so.
He leaves Jeyol's lab.
[At this time, Imper and Niedo were in their rooms...] A0 showed the map of the base to the Lord and diligently showed him the way.
This time, his goal wasn't to interrogate them; he simply needed to incapacitate Imper and Nedo so they wouldn't interfere with his next move. Therefore, there was no need to bring them before Jejoel and let them "watch" how to cooperate.
I have to say it saved me a lot of trouble.
After all, he didn't want to go through the process of breaking someone's bones bit by bit again. Compared with this, being beaten with a black eye and a swollen face could be said to be "no injury".
Qi Heng, who had always been law-abiding (on Earth), felt a great deal of psychological pressure when this incident, the first time he had resorted to lynching someone for information, came to him. But as soon as he thought about what the Ikal civilization had done to the Zerg, his discomfort was completely shattered.
Compared to what Jeyol had done to the Zerg over the past few hundred years, what he had done couldn't even be considered "returning the favor".
Between unrelated strangers and the Zerg, it is clear which is more important.
As for what Jayol said that this was the retribution of the Tianjia civilization, Qi Heng put it out of his mind after hearing it. No one dared to say this when the Tianjia civilization was the victor.
If there is any retribution, it should be borne by myself who was tricked into traveling through time, and it has nothing to do with the Tianjia civilization.
Who knew that everything in the game would come true...
Qi Heng turned the corner of the corridor and came to the residential area inside the base.
...In fact, it doesn't matter even if it comes true. As long as the Tianjia civilization is still the Tianjia civilization, no one will dare to use the old accounts of the Interstellar Black Forest Law to seek justice, let alone "convict" the Tianjia civilization.
Even in the interstellar age, the principle of "whoever has the bigger fist is the boss" has never changed.
——Which advanced civilization that has existed since more than 20,000 years ago and still exists today has not done what the Tianjia civilization once did?
Compared to Qi Heng, who thought that the game let him go, their nature and circumstances were even more serious.
Now, they are only digging up old scores because they see that the Tianjia civilization has fallen on hard times. And because they have common interests, they are united in branding the Tianjia civilization as a "sinner" and asking them to "atone for their sins."
If it weren't for the sake of profit, the Tianjia Zerg would have disappeared into history the moment their civilization was destroyed, and there would be no chance for them to survive and live for ten thousand years.
Qi Heng was not actually very angry about what happened to the Tianjia civilization.
First, even though he possessed a small part of the Overlord's memories, he still subconsciously viewed the Tianjia civilization as if he were playing a game.
Secondly, he has always believed that a gentleman's revenge is never too late. Being in a bad situation for a while does not mean that there will be no chance for the Tianjia civilization to retaliate in the future.
Playing games requires give and take, doesn’t reality allow this?
As the ruler of the Tianjia civilization that once committed all kinds of evil in the game, no matter how excessive his actions were, no civilization could stop him. Isn't it because he relied on using his powerful strength to conquer others with physics?
It’s not that there are no civilizations that want to punish him, the evil man who is rampant across the planet and the sea, but there is no force or individual that can convict the Overlord.
——Because the victor is innocent, the ruler is innocent.
——The truth as big as a fist is so simple and plain.
[Your Excellency, we have arrived.]
A0's voice brought Qi Heng back from his trance, his thoughts drifting further and further away.
Compared to Lei and Jeyol who were still able to speak a few words, Impe and Niedo were much worse off.
As soon as the door opened, I was punched in the face as soon as I made contact with the person outside. Before I could react, I felt a sharp pain on the back of my neck.
The powerful anesthetic took effect within two seconds. Imper and Niedo felt dizzy and dizzy before they could even see the people who attacked them. Finally, their vision went black and they fell heavily to the ground.
In the end, Qi Heng put on barrier rings and kicked them under the bed.
Although it was the second time, he still wanted to sigh: What a loser, there is no one in the entire base who can fight.
Back in the corridor, Qi Heng said to A0: [Proceed as planned.]
【yes. 】
A0 took over the main system of the base, and all the surveillance cameras in the base became its eyes, making it easy to monitor Imper and the others.
Not only that, at the request of the Lord, it locked the room door and blocked the signals in the living area, ensuring that they could not escape even if the anesthetic effect wore off prematurely.
After finishing this, Qi Heng prepared to return to the laboratory.
I have mastered all the information I need to know about this base. What remains to be understood is the female insect that survived because of my early arrival.
A0 suddenly reported: [Master, the female insect has awakened.]
Qi Heng quickened his pace.
Inside the laboratory.
The female insect with short chestnut hair stared at the white ceiling that she had seen many times. She rolled her eyes and observed the surrounding environment. It took her a while to realize that Professor Jeyol, who had been using her for research, was not around.
And it’s a little different from waking up in the past. The feeling of weakness in my body seems to be gradually fading away?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously raised his arms, trying to support himself to sit up from the test bench... Due to his lack of strength and heavy stomach, this action was visibly difficult.
"You woke up earlier than expected." Qi Heng raised a gentle smile and walked towards the other party.
The chestnut-haired female insect opened her light blue eyes and showed no resistance to his approach as expected... To be more precise, not only did he not resist her, he also instinctively wanted to get close to her.
Qi Heng verified this the last time he met him.
The moment he approached, the chestnut-haired female insect hesitated but decisively moved closer to him, then carefully stretched out her thin, bony wrist and held his fingers without daring to breathe.
"I haven't seen you before." The female insect's voice was hoarse, and a hint of confusion appeared in her pure eyes: "...It feels very familiar. Are you also one of my kind?"
