Chapter 158: The green eyes fixed their gaze on the sleeping Nan...
"Brother Nan Qi, since you can ask these questions, you must know something. Maybe you know more than I do."
Murphy gave a wry smile. "I'm not someone who doesn't know how to be grateful. I've received the kindness you showed me today, and I'm willing to give back. So, just ask whatever you want, and I'll answer anything I can."
The surprise and panic brought by the shock of the news only lasted for a moment for a battle-hardened general like Murphy. He quickly calmed down, found the most critical point in the question asked by Nan Qi, and used it to fight back.
Nan Qi raised his eyebrows and crossed out his previous evaluation of Murphy as "simple". It seemed that he had thought too much. Anyone who could get to this position would not be simple no matter how upright he was.
But it was precisely because he was not naive and reckless that Nan Qi felt more at ease.
When dealing with someone as smart and self-disciplined as Murphy, there's no need to be too explicit; he'll naturally understand and perhaps a successful alliance will be formed in the end.
If there is such a powerful ally, it can help Bai to contain the Star Beasts when the Zerg internal strife is intense, and Bai will not have to worry about the Star Beasts taking advantage of the situation.
Of course, the premise of all this is that they can successfully form an alliance and Murphy will not go back on his word and try to stir up trouble while the Zerg Empire is in turmoil.
But these are all later stories. Now it is clear that Murphy also received some things, not necessarily the same as what they received, but judging from those three questions, it is probably related to live experiments.
Whether the message was sent by the main brain system they guessed, and whether it was sent to any living creature other than them, is not discussed for now.
The power of the person behind the scenes who has access to the core secrets of the two major countries should not be underestimated, and the goal and purpose of his message are worth pondering.
Therefore, Nan Qi, with a tentative mentality, revealed some information to Murphy by asking questions.
If Murphy's reaction was indifferent, it would prove that he knew nothing and he could just brush off the question if he wondered why he asked it.
If Murphy reacted, even for a moment, his mental strength would be enough to detect it. That would prove that Murphy was not completely unaware.
Murphy will have three reactions at this time.
1. Answering yes or no nonchalantly is just dishonest.
2. Answer honestly with a yes or no answer and say nothing more than that, even if he has already sensed the information in the question.
3. Be sensitive to the information revealed in his questions and use it to ask counter-questions.
The first reaction is that no matter what Murphy thinks in his heart, after this time, Nan Qi will no longer have a close relationship with him.
The second reaction is that Murphy is a man who keeps his promises, but because of the information revealed in his questions, he becomes very wary of them and is unwilling to have in-depth conversations with them, and may even be on guard against them.
In such situations, Nan Qi would show more kindness and try to make Murphy let down his guard, or directly stimulate and anger Murphy, trying to get him to reveal more information before trying to appease him.
If Murphy directly has the third reaction, it proves that Murphy is not only trustworthy, but also meticulous. He can sensitively capture the information and goodwill released by others, make use of them, and ultimately achieve a mutually beneficial situation.
This was the best reaction Nan Qi had expected, but Nan Qi was not absolutely sure how to talk so that both parties would be satisfied.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi slowly spoke: "Brother Murphy, you are so anxious to go back because you are against the manufacture of this special weapon, right? But you didn't know anything before. Although you hold military power, but..."
Nan Qi considered his words carefully: "But can you make the person who issued this order stop the production of such high-return weapons? If not, you go back like this..."
"I know what you're worried about, brother." Murphy cupped his hands. "Thank you in advance for your concern. I just want to send a small team back to monitor them. When I return, I will find a way to deal with them."
"Brother Murphy is so courageous. It seems I don't need to worry about this." Nan Qi smiled and stood up and went to the small kitchen to make a pot of tea. After pouring the tea, he pushed the tea in front of Murphy and said, "Try it. It's called clearing heat."
Murphy smiled and said, "Brother Bai is lucky because of your carefulness."
Nan Qi shook his head: "Knowing Bai is my blessing."
The two insects smiled at each other.
"Oh, it's blinding. You two should stop showing off your affection in front of a lonely person like me." Murphy covered his eyes exaggeratedly.
Bai laughed: "Brother Murphy, are you feeling more relaxed?"
Murphy put down his hand: "Since you've already said this, I naturally can't be shy anymore. Let's not beat around the bush. Brother Nan Qi, you definitely know more than me, but this news didn't come from our country, did it?"
"Of course not. The human race has only appeared for five years. The empire has not been able to infiltrate spies yet." Nan Qi was not sure and turned to look at Bai.
Bai nodded naturally, not feeling ashamed at all for the empire infiltrating spies into other countries.
After all, other countries do the same.
"Brother Bai is very honest." Murphy gave a thumbs up. "So I guess this phenomenon has also occurred in your country. And it's not just your country and mine. Every country with a little bit of power in the world has participated to some extent."
Bai nodded.
"Your questions today mean that you are also against this kind of thing. You are testing me and showing goodwill. Do you want to form an alliance with me?" Murphy asked again.
Bai and Nan Qi exchanged a glance, nodded again, and said frankly, "We also received the information tonight, and we don't know any more than you do. Brother Murphy, you know that all the warships have activated the signal shielding mode, but we all received this explosive information tonight."
"What?! You also received the information tonight?" Murphy frowned. He thought Bai had found out something before, but he didn't expect that Bai's source of information was the same as his.
Who was so powerful that he could send them messages, even to a group of people, even after blocking the signal? What was his purpose? How did he know all this information? Did he send it to anyone besides himself?
Or maybe the information has already been made public in the country. Is the country now in chaos?
In an instant, all kinds of questions came up and exploded like fireworks in his mind, making Murphy dizzy and unable to help but hold his forehead.
"Brother Murphy?" Bai looked at Murphy worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Murphy waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, I just suddenly thought of too many things and it gave me a headache."
Rubbing his forehead, Murphy raised his head, his face pale as he said, "The ability of the person who sent the message truly frightens me. I'm afraid he's done something else besides sending the message. If he makes this information public, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Brother Murphy shouldn't worry about this. He probably hasn't made this information public, otherwise there would be no need to send us a message so that we can rush back and resolve this matter as soon as possible." Bai pondered, "He sent us this message, which makes me feel that He is giving us a warning."
Murphy was startled: "Reminder?"
"Yes, it reminds us to pay attention to this issue." Bai lowered his voice, "It's also a warning to us. I always feel that what He will do after this depends on what we do."
"Brother Bai, what you said scared me." Murphy rubbed his arms. "You said it as if He is watching us."
Nan Qi suddenly laughed: "Maybe He really is watching us all the time?"
Murphy: “…”
Why are these two husbands getting more and more horrifying the more they talk?
Shaking his head, Murphy threw all this mess out of his mind: "So what are you two going to do?"
There was no need to explain why he wanted to send the team back. Now he wanted to know what Bai would do.
Bai sighed, "To be honest with you, Brother Murphy, I've actually heard about what's happening back home for a while now, and I've been investigating. It's just that before we could get any results, I received some mysterious news, and I haven't figured out what to do specifically."
"This..." Murphy hesitated, "You really are not lying to me?"
Bai shook his head, a bitter expression on his face. "I'm not afraid of losing face anymore. Big Brother Murphy must know what a joke our country is. I'm being held back in every way, and it's already hard to spot something wrong. If I really want to do something, there's no foolproof plan, and the result will only be worse."
"That's right." After hearing what Bai said, Murphy also sighed, "Okay, then as your brother, I won't ask. I'm grateful for your kindness. If you need anything in the future, please tell me anytime."
"Thank you in advance, Brother Murphy." Bai nodded in thanks, took the military terminal and issued the release order.
After doing all this, Bai looked at Murphy and said, "It has been released, but I still suggest that Brother Murphy wait until dawn when we are going to send out scouts and leave under the pretext of reconnaissance."
Murphy is a smart guy. He exclaimed, "Ah," and gave a thumbs-up to the dialogue: "I'm really worried and confused."
The joint forces of various countries are strictly managed, and it is almost impossible to "disappear" under the guise of reconnaissance.
But impossible doesn't mean impossible. If he hadn't been so angry at the idiots in his country after receiving the news that he lost his mind, he wouldn't have disturbed the couple's sweet dreams late at night and been tricked by them.
Murphy smiled and shook his head: "I'm really old. The young people nowadays are amazing."
Bai: "Brother Murphy, you are too kind. Brother Murphy is the real hero."
"Okay, let's stop bragging about business. I'm going to go back and make some arrangements. You guys can go back to sleep."
After saying this, Murphy stood up and said goodbye.
Bai sent the man to the door and asked Sly to send Murphy back. He closed the door and returned to the inner room, where he saw Nan Qi with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.
"Nan Qi?"
"Hmm?" Nan Qi looked up. "Brother Murphy is gone?"
Bai blinked, walked quickly to Nan Qi's side, reached out to touch his forehead, and after a moment, asked in confusion: "It's not hot, why are you talking nonsense?"
Nan Qi held Bai's hand on his forehead, placed it in his palm, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I just thought of something."
"Oh?" Bai sat next to Nan Qi, "What did you think of?"
Nan Qi: "It's nothing. The information states which countries participated in gene editing and even experimental subject transformation experiments. General Murphy of the human race has also received the news. Do you think any creatures from the Illusion Tribe, the Plant Tribe, the Rock Tribe, the Whale Tribe, etc. have received the same information?"
Bai pondered for a moment before speaking, "It's very possible, but those who received the news may not be in the coalition forces. I'll pay attention during today's meeting to see if any representatives look uneasy. I'll try to find a way to test them later."
Nan Qi nodded. "Okay, I can't help you with that. By the way, Admiral Milne Garcia has recovered well recently. After the meeting, we can talk to him and figure out how to take advantage of this rare opportunity."
Bai: "Okay, I hope everything goes well."
After this topic was over, both bugs did not sleep anymore and talked about many things, including the fact that they were increasingly convinced that the main brain system was the one sending them messages.
Because apart from the main brain system, they couldn't think of anyone else who would have so much confidential information of so many countries and could ignore the blocking system and send messages directly to their private mailboxes.
From this, they speculated that the intelligence that those countries bought from the Zerg Empire for more convenient and secretive office work, which evolved from the main brain and main system, was also left with a backdoor by the main brain and main system for themselves to enter and exit.
After reaching this conclusion, Nan Qi and Bai both took a deep breath.
Nan Qi said, "It seems that only the black market and those small countries that did not purchase office intelligence from the Empire have "escaped." If you calculate this, the main brain and main system developed intelligence even earlier than ten years ago."
"He is quite good at hiding things. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." Bai felt unspeakable worry in his heart.
Nan Qi patted Bai's hand and comforted him, "Don't worry too much. He has been so peaceful all these years. Even if he wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. I think he is helping us with what he is doing now. Let's ask him when we have the chance."
"You're so brave." Bai leaned in Nan Qi's arms, and the worries in his heart were diluted a lot. "I hope it's really as you said."
The two bugs talked together again, and it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
Nan Qi, who was about to make breakfast for himself, hurried back to take a nap. Bai got up and went to the bathroom to wash and change clothes. After he was ready, he went in undercover and kissed Nan Qi on the forehead, then went to work with high morale in the eyes of the little hero.
In Nan Qi's eyes, that look was no different from that of a kitten that had just defeated its opponent.
"So cute." Nan Qi watched Bai's back as he left, and only closed his eyes when he could no longer see Bai.
But he overestimated himself. Even though he felt tired, he couldn't fall asleep at all.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, he took out his Star Brain, which had no signal at all, and transformed it into the size of a tablet. He held it in his hand, looking left and right, turning it up and down, and even tapped the screen lightly, calling out softly a few times:
"Hi, are you there? Come out and chat? Can we get to know each other?"
"My name is Nan Qi, what's your name?"
"Do we... know each other? Why can my brain waves give Lily and the others independent consciousness? Are you helping?"
Unfortunately, after fiddling with it and muttering to himself for a long time, the Star Brain remained the same. It didn't suddenly light up, nor did it suddenly make a sound to scare him.
"He's really crazy." Patting his forehead, Nan Qi put Xing Nao down and lay down, covering himself with the quilt, "I'd better go to sleep."
Maybe he was really tired, or maybe he was autistic because of his stupid behavior just now. After Nan Qi closed his eyes, he actually fell asleep.
Just as his breathing gradually stabilized, the Star Brain he placed next to him suddenly lit up.
What appeared on the screen was not the various software downloaded by Nan Qi, but a pair of emerald green eyes!
His eyes moved around quickly, and after he had seen everything around him clearly, his gaze fell directly on the sleeping Nan Qi.
I don’t know how long it took, but it seemed like my eyes had finally seen enough and slowly disappeared from the Star Brain screen.
Nan Qi, who was usually very sensitive to sight, turned over unconsciously at this moment, and lifted the quilt to cover Xing Nao. It was obvious that he was sleeping soundly.
