Chapter 176: Seal and Cannot Be Regretted
Pu Bo's words immediately set off fireworks in Keppel's mind, and he staggered slightly. Fortunately, Pu Bo was also flustered at the moment and didn't notice his unusual reaction.
"That tube of blood was confiscated by Bai from the interstellar pirates. Bai felt the pirates valued it so much that he gave it to Torunk during his supply run." Keppel forced himself to remain calm. "It seems Bai is right. Have you brought the report? I'll give it to Bai tomorrow when the signal is clear."
Pu Bo shook his head. “I destroyed the report. I memorized all the data in my head.”
Seeing Keppel's confusion, Pu Bo pondered, "I don't know what happened, but when the report came out, the first thing I saw was that it shouldn't exist. So I cleared all the data and memorized it all."
"You're right." Keppel nodded. "Hoover Walker hasn't given up on searching for Unit 001 for all these years. If there's a stub of the test data, it's hard to guarantee his spies won't discover it. You're right."
"Do I need to write down the data for you?" Pu Bo pursed his lips.
Keppel shook his head. "No need. You've thought it through very carefully. Not a single bit of this data can be leaked. You've already told me the most important thing. I'll contact Bai later. He probably knows what's going on. We'll discuss everything after Bai comes back. By the way..."
Keppel pondered for a moment. "Remember what I said when I gave you that tube of blood?"
"I remember, but Your Highness, can't you even tell the teacher?" Pu Bo's IQ returned a little, and he realized that things were not as simple as Keppel said.
But Pu Bo didn't ask any further questions. Facing Keppel's serious expression, he nodded and said, "I understand. I will keep it a secret."
He was so obedient. Keppel sighed, "I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind. I didn't tell Ai You because he has too many things on his mind right now. This matter doesn't pose a big threat, so there's no need to worry him. Secondly, this is... Bai's request."
"He shouldn't make anything public for now if he's unsure. This time, I'll ask Bai to decide what to do. First, tell me what the special effect of that tube of blood is. Did it really extract the main raw material for the Promote02 potion?"
Keppel lied without blushing or beating his heart. After all, they were husband and wife, so it was not considered a lie.
Hearing what Keppel said, Pu Bo thought it made sense, nodded, and told Keppel in detail the test results of the blood tube.
Pu Bo: "I did detect the main ingredient of the Promote02 potion in that tube of blood, but this ingredient is more active than the original potion."
"Is it because of the freshness of the problem?" Keppel asked.
Pu Bo frowned. "It's not because of freshness. The activity of the main ingredients was preserved when the potion was made. Otherwise, it would have no effect."
"You mean No. 001 is stronger?" Keppel thought of Nan Qi's handsome face, the beautiful spiritual body, the nine-tailed cat, and the unique SSS-level mental power, and nodded secretly. Nan Qi was indeed very strong.
How powerful he is, I'm afraid only Nan Qi himself knows. What they have seen is just the tip of the iceberg.
"That's the only explanation," Pu Bo explained. "That substance is not only more active, but also more stable. If 001 falls into the hands of interstellar thieves, Bai and the others must be careful."
There was no need for Pu Bo to explicitly state this; Keppel automatically understood what Pu Bo meant.
There are minions of the Insect King among the interstellar thieves, and they have even discovered a laboratory similar to that of the Imperial graduate students deep in the Kron galaxy. They have been fighting with the experimental subjects cultivated by the thieves during the day.
If No. 001 really fell into the hands of interstellar thieves, they would not leave such a great treasure unused. The thieves' strength would naturally be more than what we see now. Bai and the others must be extra careful.
Fortunately, No. 001 did not fall into the hands of interstellar thieves.
"I understand your concerns, I will tell Bai. It's late at night, it's not safe for you to go back alone, I will send my personal guards to take you back." Keppel said and wanted to call the personal guards in, but was rejected by Pu Bo.
"It's better not to alert His Highness's personal guards. I came quietly and will leave quietly."
Pu Bo pulled on the hood of his cloak and disappeared into the darkness. "Don't worry, Your Highness. I'll be fine. I'm leaving now. I've already destroyed the vial of blood. Please let me know."
Keppel raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat unexpectedly that Pu Bo was so cautious. He felt proud that Ai You had such a good student.
"Go ahead, and be careful. Your young fiancé is a good guy, you can spend more time with him." Keppel suddenly spoke when Pu Bo was about to leave.
Pu Bo paused, hummed twice randomly, and then took another step with a look of fleeing in panic.
Keppel chuckled twice: "Still a child."
Then he stopped smiling, a look of worry crept onto his face, and he gave a wry smile: "Nan Qi, Nan Qi, who are you? How many more scares are you going to bring to me? I need to think about what to do."
After sitting alone for a long time, until the daybreak, Keppel seemed to have figured something out. He stood up and stood in front of the huge French window, looking at the red sun rising in the sky. His eyes changed from confusion to determination.
Who Nan Qi is and what his identity is is no longer important now.
The important thing is that Nan Qi is on their side now. Even if No. 7 has some ideas, Nan Qi is still No. 7, and they may not be without the possibility of turning the situation around.
However, Nan Qi’s identity is best kept secret. This is to protect Nan Qi and is also their trump card.
Exhaling, Keppel felt his mind had never been clearer, and turned to walk out of the study.
Back in the bedroom, Aiyou was still asleep, his hand unconsciously placed on his place. Keppel's eyes became more gentle, and he got on the bed quietly.
As if sensing something, Aiyou moved closer to Keppel, landing right in Keppel's arms. As if sensing a slight chill, he struggled to open his eyes and asked in a hoarse, nasal voice, "Why are you so cold? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Keppel shook his head, hugged Aiyou tightly in his arms, and rubbed his chin against his forehead: "I'm not feeling unwell. I just went to the bathroom and it took a long time. It's a bit cold today."
"Oh." Ai You blinked, forcing himself to be more awake, but still a little worried, "Be sure to tell me if you feel uncomfortable."
"Okay, I'll tell you." Keppel patted Aiyou's back and spoke in a softer and slower voice, "Sleep a little longer, it's still early."
Ai You was indeed very tired these two days. After making sure that Keppel was not feeling unwell, he closed his eyes tiredly and lay on Keppel's chest. Listening to Keppel's increasingly strong heartbeat, Ai You raised the corners of his mouth slightly and soon fell into a deep sleep again.
Having put down the burden in his heart, Keppel gradually fell asleep in the warm embrace of his lover.
＊
On the outskirts of the Kron galaxy, on the stationed star.
In the bedroom, heavy curtains blocked the view outside. Bai was sleeping soundly in Nan Qi's arms, but Nan Qi was not asleep.
It was already late at night, and three days had passed since the hot pot meal.
There is still no news from Prince Keppel, but so many days have passed, it is impossible that there is no news from Keppel.
At least the blood test results should have come out, and with Pu Bo's ability, this shouldn't be difficult.
Now that the blood test results are out, Keppel didn't contact him. The results are likely to be the same as he predicted. His blood is the main ingredient of the promote02 potion, and he is the experimental subject No. 001 who disappeared in the chaos of the Imperial Research Institute ten years ago.
He actually came to this world a long time ago and was captured by the Imperial Research Institute and became Experimental Subject No. 001.
But how is this possible?
This body was indeed his own, and he was certain that he had died in that war, with no remains left. How could it appear intact in the interstellar space three hundred thousand years later?
What happened in the meantime?
And that number seven...
I was captured by the Imperial Research Institute thirty-five years ago, and No. 7 woke up exactly thirty-five years ago. Is there any connection between them?
Are the intelligences that developed autonomous consciousness because of him also related to the connection between him and Number Seven?
Number Seven was created by Pansigo. Based on his understanding of Pansigo, he should not study these things and what made Pansigo change.
Moreover, they have been fighting alien creatures for so many years, and all their technology and financial resources have been used to develop weapons, so their other technologies are pitifully backward.
Even if he and the Lord of the Alien Creatures died together, it would not be easy to eliminate the remaining alien creatures. Where would they get the money and energy to develop intelligent technology and allow intelligence to develop autonomous consciousness?
You have to know that even with such advanced interstellar technology, there is still no way to allow intelligence to develop independent consciousness. How could it be possible to develop a super-intelligent intelligent system that dominates the technology of the time 300,000 years ago when technology was not as advanced as it is now?
There must be a reason for this.
Nan Qi frowned and suddenly felt a headache.
He had a vague idea in his mind, but when he wanted to see it clearly and grasp it, it suddenly disappeared like a misty cloud and could no longer be seen.
Letting out a light breath, Nan Qi lowered his head to look at Bai's sleeping face.
Compared to his stern appearance when awake, Bai appears harmless when asleep and looks much younger than his actual age.
The Zerg do not reach adulthood until they are 40 years old, so when converted into white, they are indeed not that big.
Nan Qi put aside all the messy things, gently stroked Bai's face, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously rose.
"You're still a child, yet you've already taken on such a big responsibility. It must be tiring." He leaned over and kissed Bai's cheek. "Don't worry, I'll always be here. No matter what my relationship with Number Seven is, or whether I'm Experiment 001 or not, I'll always be by your side."
After saying that, Nan Qi couldn't help laughing. He kissed Bai's face again and whispered, "It's stamped, and it will never change."
After swearing the oath, Nan Qi lay down carefully, held Nan Qi in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep, not noticing that after his breathing became steady, Bai, who was originally sleeping soundly, opened his eyes.
He traced Nan Qi's outline with his eyes for a long time before closing his eyes again.
Nan Qi, once you stamp your agreement, you can’t go back on your word.
