Chapter 180 Gilded Crystal Nan Qi is definitely not a human
"Well, I do know you, but you must have forgotten me. How heartless."
His words made Nan Qi look like a scum who had toyed with his feelings and abandoned him. He even blinked his jewel-like dark blue eyes at Nan Qi, as if flirting with him.
Lunk was frightened by these words and his eyes shifted back and forth between Nan Qi and the figure lying on the second-floor railing and smiling at them.
In the end, he stopped Nan Qi behind him, looked up at the figure on the second floor, and said sternly, "Who are you? It's useless to say these specious words to undermine the trust between us. I advise you to give up as soon as possible."
"Oh, that's quite impressive." The creature upstairs didn't show any anger at the words. Instead, they looked at Lunk with genuine admiration, saying, "You have a good eye this time. I like it."
Lunk frowned, wondering what this creature meant that looked neither like a Zerg nor had any racial markings or characteristics.
Sometimes he treats Nan Qi with resentment, like a resentful husband abandoned by Nan Qi; sometimes he treats Nan Qi as if they are old friends reuniting, and he is pleased with his friends and achievements over the years.
With such a feeling of disconnection, Lunk felt that his brain capacity was not enough, and he could only protect Nan Qi tightly behind him to prevent this unknown race of creatures, whose identity was unclear, from hurting Nan Qi.
Compared to the nervous Lenk, Nan Qi was relaxed.
Patting Lunke, who seemed a little nervous, Nan Qi pulled him behind him, looked up at the figure on the second floor who was leaning on his hands to look at him, and said calmly:
"You are the owner of Fengshengheli Tower, right? You brought me here through His Royal Highness Prince Keppel, not just to win my heart."
The host laughed and said, "Don't say that. This is just a reunion of old friends. Am I too excited?"
"Oh, old friends reunited! How come I don't remember having such an 'extraordinary' friend like you?" Nan Qi's lips curled up as he sat on the sofa in the lobby for guests to rest, looking at the host from afar. "Since you said we are old friends, you should at least provide some evidence. After all, I have amnesia now."
The three words "amnesia" came out of Nan Qi's mouth lightly, and when they fell on Lunke's head, it was like a huge wave.
Lunke always knew that Nan Qi was hiding something from him, and he also knew that Nan Qi's background might not be simple, but he didn't care.
As long as Bai chooses to believe Nan Qi, he will believe Nan Qi unconditionally, but he never thought that Nan Qi would have anything to do with Fengshengheli Tower.
Although he had guessed it the moment Bai asked him to protect Nan Qi in the black market, he still found it difficult to accept the truth when it was before him.
Taking a deep breath, Lunk controlled his trembling nerves and forced himself to calm down. He wanted to remember every detail and tell Bai everything.
If Bai still chose to believe Nan Qi at that time, he would still believe him unconditionally and protect Nan Qi at the risk of his life.
Although Lunke's reaction was secretive, it still did not escape the eyes of Nan Qi and the host.
The host raised an eyebrow, appreciating Lunke even more. He walked down step by step and sat opposite Nan Qi, his smile deepening. "You have contacted His Highness Xiangfang, so you should know who I am, who you are, and what our relationship is."
Nan Qi nodded, as if he thought of something, his eyes flickered, and when he spoke again, Lunke was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground.
Nan Qi: "I'm your father."
The host was about to speak again when he lost his breath. The smile he had been carrying finally broke, and after a long while he managed to utter, "Ah?"
A smile flashed in Nan Qi's eyes: "You were all born because of me, shouldn't you call me father?"
OP: “…”
Lunke: “…”
Lenk was confused, he didn't understand.
The term "father" is equivalent to the male father among the Zerg. The Zerg do not use it, but it is a common term among humans and other races.
Nan Qi said that the poster was born because of him, but he did not use the term "Xiong father". Moreover, Nan Qi and Bai had a physical examination when they got married, which confirmed that Nan Qi had just reached adulthood.
Therefore, at Nan Qi's age, it's impossible for him to have a son as old as the poster. The poster also said that Nan Qi and he had known each other for a long time, and Nan Qi said that he had lost his memory...
Countless pieces of information formed a big net and covered Lenk's head, trapping him. He couldn't find a way out and couldn't grasp the clues, and his expression was dull and blank.
Perhaps it was because Lunk's expression was pitiful enough, or perhaps it was because it piqued the interest of the original poster. He laughed and said aloud, "I forgot to tell Mr. Lieutenant Colonel that I do not belong to any intelligent species in the world today. Strictly speaking, I am not a living being."
"Then what are you?" Lunke's voice was dry.
"As for me..." The host chuckled softly twice, glancing at Nan Qi from the corner of his eye. Seeing that he didn't stop him, he said softly, "You can understand that I'm just a string of data, a string of data that was born because of Nan Qi and has its own consciousness."
"And data like mine is everywhere."
"What!" Lunk's eyes widened instantly. He was about to say how this was possible, but suddenly he remembered the Bai family's household robot insect Lily.
Lily began to develop her own consciousness slowly after coming into contact with Nan Qi. At that time, they even discussed whether Lily developed her own consciousness because of Nan Qi, the seven-colored stone, or a combination of both.
At the end of the discussion, they all wanted to do an experiment, but were stopped by Bai.
Later, it seemed that the aircraft that Nan Qi often used also had its own consciousness. They tacitly understood it and just regarded it as an additional ability of SSS-level mental power, and put the matter behind them.
It now seems that the intelligence's generation of autonomous consciousness has nothing to do with Nan Qi's SSS-level mental power, but rather that Nan Qi has a connection with intelligence itself.
Thinking of this, Lenk's expression changed rapidly, and his eyes became complicated when he looked at Nan Qi.
The poster looked at Lenk with great interest, wanting to know what choice Lenk would make after his brainstorming session.
This is the scene that Nan Qi is most looking forward to after he brings Lunke into the Fengshengheli Tower.
Nan Qi also wanted to know what choice Lunke would make. He knew that Bai sent Lunke to follow him just to protect himself and had no other intentions. He had told him on the day he sent him away that he must not let Lunke know too much.
Nan Qi understood that Bai was afraid that everything was still uncertain, and once Lunke knew about it, it would cause complications, causing Lunke and the others to be hostile to him, and Bai would also be in a difficult position being caught in the middle.
But on the way to the black market, Nan Qi suddenly wanted to take a gamble.
I bet that even if Lunk knew his true identity, he would not doubt him, would not be hostile to him, and would not have a crisis of trust in the dialogue because of his identity.
Why did he want to take this gamble? Because he didn't want to bear the mystery of his identity in vain. He was already suffering and tired enough.
Leaving everything to Bai and concealing his identity is indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving way, but he doesn't want this. He doesn't want his identity to become a time bomb between Bai and his brothers.
He didn't want his identity to be exposed, forcing Bai to be looked at strangely by his brothers, or even causing a rift in their relationship.
This is fatal on the battlefield. Even if he is not on the battlefield, he does not want to see Bai's fragility hidden under his strength.
Bai shouldn't bother with these things, so he wants to ignite the explosive himself, and Lenk is his first test subject.
Looking at Lunk, whose face was distorted with confusion, Nan Qi didn't feel guilty at all. He even had the mood to count how many expressions Lunk changed. It was really wicked.
The host shook his head, stood up and walked to the corner, called a waiter over, whispered a few words, turned around and saw Lunk uttering four words as if he had made some kind of decision.
"Does Bai know?"
Nan Qi raised his eyebrows, smiled and nodded: "He knows, he knows everything about me."
"If he believes you, then I will believe you." Lunk gritted his teeth.
"Thank you." Nan Qi replied sincerely.
At this time, the owner of the building came over and extended his hand to Lunke: "Let me introduce myself. My name is O'Connor, the owner of this Fengshengheli Building, and the first artificial intelligence created by Nanqi Aide."
"Artificial intelligence?" Lunk had just barely digested the news that Nan Qi might be related to the intelligent system, when the original poster O'Connor was shocked again. It was not insect-engineered intelligence, but artificial intelligence.
Isn't this a roundabout way of saying that Nan Qi is actually related to the human race?
Lunk took a breath and said, "This is impossible. Nan Qi is a Zerg! We Zerg have a sense of connection with each other. When we grow up, our connection becomes very sensitive. There is no mistake about this. Nan Qi is definitely not a human."
"Uh, wait, what you said..." Nan Qi's expression was a bit difficult to describe, "Why does it sound like you are scolding me."
Lunk: “…Is that the point?”
O'Connor nodded: "I don't think that's the point either."
Nan Qi leaned back and asked: "What do you two think is the key point?"
Lenk was speechless and looked at O'Connor.
O'Connor smiled slightly and pointed to the waiter walking towards them with a tray. "What's on it is the important thing. It's what you left with me. Today is the time to return it to you."
Only when the waiter walked in did Nan Qi and Lunke see clearly what was on the tray.
On the tray was a transparent crystal stone half the size of a palm, with a golden glint inside, and a pair of pure black gloves made of unknown material.
Lenk had never seen this kind of crystal before. It was so small, but it seemed to contain an elusive mysterious aura that made him want to get closer, but he was also afraid to get close.
Nan Qi felt differently from Lenk. The moment the crystal appeared before his eyes, his heart beat violently, and then it felt like someone squeezed his heart lightly.
It didn't hurt, but it made him feel numb and itchy all over, as if his desire for the crystal had caused his body to react.
O'Connor put on the black gloves on the tray, carefully took the crystal in his hand, and tilted his head to Nan Qi: "Let's go, this is not a good place to return your things. You need a quiet environment to welcome His return."
