Chapter 25 Walking Human Bomb
"Found it?"
Gu Jinyan's voice was a little dry, with an incredible heaviness, "You mean... her?"
The words carried an unfamiliar weight; he didn't even know her name yet.
Gu Changfeng finally stopped laughing, but the smile in his eyes sparkled like broken diamonds.
His posture regained some of its laziness, but underneath that laziness was an absolute certainty.
He gently shook the detector in his hand.
"What else? Could there be another 'unrecorded bloodline' on this garbage planet that could make the detector light up like that?"
His tone was light, but every word was as powerful as a hammer.
Gu Jinyan's brows were tightly locked, like a knot that could not be untied.
He strode back and stood in front of Gu Changfeng.
"Father, this is illogical!" Gu Jinyan's voice lowered, questioning, "You know what happened back then.
The traitors who secretly colluded and attempted to use the royal bloodline to create the perfect Eselan have long been eliminated by His Majesty himself!
Even when it came to several high-ranking royal relatives, His Majesty Aiden showed no mercy and put an end to them fairly and justly.
The remaining collateral branches, though not guilty of death, were also exiled to the star region for eternity, imprisoned for life, and were absolutely forbidden to take a single step out of the star region.
Gu Changfeng exclaimed "Ah", of course he remembered that incident.
His Majesty killed his relatives with his own hands, and all the adult members of that tribe were executed. A dark cloud hung over the empire for a month.
"Didn't you get an A in biology?" Gu Changfeng asked curiously.
“The principle of the bloodline detector is to capture new, unrecorded Etheran bloodlines.
It suddenly glowed, indicating that in this boundless sea of stars, in the territory ruled by His Majesty Aiden, a new generation of blood relatives had appeared.
Either an extremely remote branch that has never been registered accidentally gave birth to an ancestral bloodline, or..."
Gu Jinyan interrupted him.
"Thanks to your concern, I got an A in every class this school year, including an A+ in biology, math, and mechanics. You personally signed the report card and declined my offer to attend my parent-teacher conference."
Gu Jinyan paused and emphasized again: "She is just a child about three years old."
Who are her parents?
How did she end up on this garbage planet?
What is involved behind this?
Gu Jinyan's question was resounding.
Gu Changfeng looked at his son, who had rarely raised his voice, and silently swallowed the rest of his words:
Or maybe she was the one who accidentally escaped the purge that year.
It’s not that Gu Jinyan doesn’t believe his father’s judgment, but once An Zhi’s identity is confirmed, it will definitely not bring the joy of completing the task.
A descendant of a "traitor" bloodline that should have been closely monitored or even completely eliminated, a young child who might contain the fruits of that crazy experiment...
This is a hundred times more dangerous than being a mere royal orphan.
The smile on Gu Changfeng's face faded a little. He certainly understood his son's concerns.
He raised his hand and tapped the light screen several times with his fingertips.
"Your suspicion is reasonable, Jinyan." His voice calmed down. "So, we need solid evidence, not speculation."
He looked up at his son and said, "Bring the detector here."
Gu Jinyan didn't hesitate at all.
He immediately found the Imperial Military standard blood detector.
Gu Changfeng took the detector and walked to the closed hatch.
Gu Jinyan immediately followed, like a silent barrier.
Gu Changfeng did not try to open the door, but just moved the detector close to the hatch.
The ship's air circulation system is slowly drawing air out of the cabin and passing it through the filter channel.
He activated the detector.
Buzz——
The Imperial Military's standard detector screen instantly turned from standby blue to gold.
In the center, a line of clear words in the Empire's common language flashed wildly:
[Warning: It is detected that the Etheran bloodline is not included!
Matching degree: over 90%!
Level: Super advanced!
Please enter the key within ten seconds, otherwise the coordinates will be uploaded to the central database immediately and the nearest troops will be mobilized to defend it!
Countdown 10!
9!
8! 】
Gu Changfeng, with a frown on his face, quickly input the 28-digit real-time verification key.
The Eselan family's desire to protect their bloodline is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
After receiving the task, five compressed files filled up his chat window, each of which listed in length how to deal with different situations.
This was also the first time for Gu Changfeng to experience this kind of reception.
After all, pure Eselan bloodline has always been rare.
This powerful and beautiful clan rarely appeared in public during their childhood. Back when he was still a student at the military academy, a few rare photos of the young prince were posted on the Star Network and circulated widely.
That is Etheran, whom every citizen of the empire admires and respects from the bottom of their hearts.
The powerful spirit and military might of the Ethelans have blessed generations of people. The first history lesson every student learns is the history of the Ethelans' founding of the nation.
They struck the first blow from chaos and barbarism, and from then on led the people on the journey to the stars...
After the former queen passed away and His Majesty ascended the throne, the members of Eselan appeared less and less... There were even rumors...
Gu Changfeng pressed his solar plexus to get rid of all the rumors that were groundless.
He turned the detector screen towards Gu Jinyan.
The golden font, like the most ruthless judge, instantly shattered all of Gu Jinyan's previous logical doubts.
There was dead silence in the passage.
Only the faint beeping of the detector sounded like a countdown to fate.
Gu Jinyan's eyes were fixed on the screen.
All the fragments of clues were forcibly pieced together by this cold, irrefutable scientific data into a suffocating truth that had to be accepted.
The fragile little girl whom he had personally brought back from the ruins and who fell asleep in his arms.
This is the royal bloodline they have been searching for with great difficulty.
She was the only, highly pure relic that should not have existed after that bloody rebellion and crazy experiment.
Whose child is she?
Which exile gave birth to this child secretly?
still……
The "results" of that forbidden experiment itself?
The huge confusion was like a cold tide, instantly drowning Gu Jinyan.
His knuckles turned white from the force with which he gripped the edge of the detector.
Gu Changfeng quietly watched the complex emotions surging on his son's face.
In the interstellar age, human lifespan has been extended, and the birth of a cub is often separated by decades, so every cub is precious.
People love the cubs from the bottom of their hearts and protect them from wind and rain until they grow up.
He silently retracted the detector and tapped the screen with his fingertips, turning off the glaring warning light.
He looked at the tightly closed hatch, as if he could see through the thick alloy and see the small figure sleeping inside.
"She's more than just our target, Jinyan.
She herself is a bomb that could detonate the very core of the empire."
Gu Jinyan slowly raised his head.
He didn't need to ask anymore, he didn't need to question anymore.
"I understand, sir."
"Her safety is my responsibility.
Until... the very last moment."
