Chapter 97: The spiritual body is so good, Arnold’s mind suddenly popped up...
Because of Carter's matter, Nan Qi did not make time-consuming butter cookies.
He simply cooked some porridge, heated up some frozen buns, and took out some pickled vegetables from the refrigerator. Bai also helped, and they soon had a steaming hot breakfast.
After breakfast, Bai took Nan Qi to Arnold's apartment. While making breakfast, Nan Qi said that he had a way to find Carter. Bai believed Nan Qi very much, but after hearing what Nan Qi said, his eyes widened.
Nan Qi: "The method is simple to say, but also difficult to say. I can't guarantee success, but we can give it a try."
"We should be thankful that Carter has condensed a spirit form," Nan Qi explained. "Spirit forms can sense each other, but the strength of that sense depends on talent—the spirit form's abilities—and the hidden abilities of the other spirit form."
"You know that the abilities of my Nine-Tailed Cat spirit are related to space. My mastery of space allows me to more easily sense the abilities of other spirits."
"Carter has just condensed his spiritual body, and he certainly won't hide it. I can try to sense the residual energy of his spiritual body in places Carter often goes. Perhaps we can make new discoveries. Marshal Aiyou can also help with the search. We can work on both fronts!"
This theory was incredible to Bai. It turned out that spirits could sense each other and even have talents. Nan Qi's talent was spatial control. Did he have a talent? If so, what would it be?
Since spiritual bodies can sense each other, is it because I don’t have the talent that I can’t sense it?
Bai wanted to ask, but then heard Nan Qi continue, "Your spiritual body has just condensed and become clear, and your talent has not yet awakened. I like to hide the aura of my spiritual body, so you don't feel anything."
Bai's eyes lit up. Nan Qi meant that spiritual beings all have talents, it's just a matter of awakening sooner or later. That means his strength will be stronger and he will be better able to protect the insects he wants to protect.
Just thinking about this made Bai excited, his eyes sparkling, and his lips pursed in a smile, which made Nan Qi feel much better.
Bai's house is not close to Arnold's apartment, and even the most powerful aircraft would take half an hour to reach it at full speed.
They told Arnold in advance, and as soon as they took the elevator to Arnold's floor, they saw Arnold squatting at the elevator door waiting for them.
When he raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked very haggard. His voice was even hoarser, as if he was about to lose his voice.
Nan Qi was startled by Arnold. He quickly helped Arnold up and comforted him, "Don't worry. The bug that took Carter away must have some ulterior motive. As long as it doesn't reveal its intention, Carter will be safe."
Arnold wiped his face, forced a smile bitterer than a bitter melon, and apologized in a hoarse voice: "Sorry for bothering you so early in the morning."
Nan Qi patted his shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? Carter is also my brother. As his elder brother, I can't just sit back and watch him get into trouble. Besides, if Carter gets into trouble, it's very likely that I will be involved..."
"Nan Qi, stop talking," Arnold interrupted Nan Qi. "This has nothing to do with you. The life of an F-class male insect is worse than that of an ant. If it weren't for you, Carter and I would have died in the mine like my female and male fathers. It's you who gave us a different life."
"Although I didn't go to school much, I know how to write the words 'repay a favor'. Even if Carter's disappearance is related to you, it's not your fault. It's the fault of those pests who took Carter away."
When Arnold said this, his eyes were filled with hatred for the pest that had captured his brother. The aura that erupted from his body was so strong that it scared the insects out, causing Bai to look sideways. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he actually saw a shadow on Arnold, which looked especially like the way he looked when he had just condensed his spiritual body.
Are these two brothers so talented and insightful? Then why are they F-rank male insects?
It seems that he needs to communicate with the teacher to see whether those F-level male insects who choose to learn the method of condensing spiritual bodies are more likely to condense spiritual bodies than male insects of higher levels.
Bai did not tell anyone about his discovery. What he could see, Nan Qi could naturally see as well. The most urgent task was to find Carter.
Bai gently pulled Nan Qi's sleeve. Nan Qi understood and told Arnold his plan. In Arnold's hopeful eyes, Nan Qi said:
"Think about Carter's movements before he disappeared. The more detailed the better. I'll follow his route and see if I can sense where he disappeared. Then, I can use my abilities to find him."
"Okay, okay," Arnold's voice trembled, "I...I had some time yesterday. I took Carter to school for the first time. I watched him walk into the school. Let's go to school."
Nan Qi turned to look at Bai, who nodded: "Leave it to me."
Carter's school is a semi-closed comprehensive school on the central star. The students are not just Zerg, so they can attend school as a day student, but creatures from other schools are not allowed to enter.
Last night, it was late at night and quiet. Arnold was holding his breath and it was a miracle that he sneaked in without being discovered.
Now in the morning, a large number of students have entered and security is complete, so it is not so easy to sneak in. However, with Bai here, they don’t have to find ways to sneak in and can enter openly.
The aircraft arrived at the school very quickly. Nan Qi didn't let Bai out at first because Bai was too famous on the Central Star. Even if Bai didn't like to show up, there was no guarantee that some bugs would notice him.
They wanted to avoid attracting attention, so Shiro would be better off not following.
Bai showed an expression of disapproval. Now many forces were keeping an eye on Nan Qi. The bug that captured Carter was probably targeting Nan Qi. He was worried about letting Nan Qi act alone at this time.
Nan Qi saw what Bai was thinking, thought for a moment, and took out a hat and a mask from the small box behind the aircraft. He carefully put them on Bai, and told Bai not to make a sound. Then he took Bai's hand and walked into the school together.
When they reached the door, they were stopped by security as expected. Nan Qi pulled out the pass from his Star Brain and showed it to the security. After the security confirmed it, he bowed politely, opened the door and let them in, and even saluted politely.
Nan Qi nodded coldly, pretending to be arrogant. When he was far away from the security guards, Nan Qi whispered to Bai, "What kind of identity do you have? Why are they so respectful to you?"
Arnold was also curious, so he turned his head and looked at Bai with Nan Qi.
Bai blinked and pointed at himself with the hand that was not being held. Did that mean - I can speak now?
Nan Qi: “…”
Arnold: "..." I didn't expect that a dignified general would be so obedient.
Arnold was in awe of Nan Qi. Even a strong and powerful female insect like the admiral could obey his orders. How amazing!
Nan Qi didn't know what Arnold was thinking, but seeing that he was in better condition than before, he felt relieved. He turned around and said to Bai, "I'm just worried that you'll be exposed. I don't mean to control you."
There was a smile in Bai's eyes. He knew of course that Nan Qi would not restrict him. He just wanted to tease Nan Qi. Maybe Nan Qi himself didn't realize that after knowing that Carter was missing, there was a hint of heaviness and self-blame in Nan Qi's eyes.
Bai didn't like it. He thought Nan Qi was always happy, so he took the opportunity to tease Nan Qi.
"Nothing much, just got a visiting professorship." Bai said in a low voice.
Nan Qi understood. He had been in this world for quite a while and knew what professors meant in the empire. Unlike those professors in his original world who were more dramatic, in the empire, professors represented the highest achievements in scholarship, the bugs at the top of the academic pyramid.
Nan Qi grinned: "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Bai raised an eyebrow and said, "No, there's a male insect in the military who is a visiting professor at this school. I just contacted him and used his identity. It won't be exposed."
Nan Qi nodded, but Arnold looked at Bai in surprise: "Is this a high-level male insect? A mental soothener?"
Bai shook his head: "S-class male insect, not a mental soothsayer, from the General Staff, the military's precious egg."
Arnold showed a puzzled expression: "Why would an S-level male insect join the army?" He went to the General Staff Headquarters.
In the military, even for civilian positions, except for psychic soothers, everyone needs to go through a hard college life or training camp selection. The general staff department is a department that requires both intellectual and physical strength.
S-class male insects are representatives of delicate and weak bodies. Arnold couldn't imagine why this male insect would give up such a good life and join the army. It seems that he has a good relationship with the female soldiers.
Bai explained as he walked, "We still have many male insects in our army, but the number of females is too large. Most of the male insects are in logistics or comfort divisions, so they are not conspicuous."
"Except for those who come here to gild themselves, most male insects in the army are relatively friendly and can get along well with the female soldiers. However, those who are willing to give up their comfortable lives are still a minority. Most male insects are immersed in the pleasure of living a life of luxury and bullying their compatriots."
When Bai said this, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he thought of his childhood experiences.
Arnold was stunned by Bai's eyes. Although there was no strong murderous intent in Bai's eyes, it made him feel like a poor ghost who fell into an ice hole in the dead of winter and was about to be taken to hell by the freezing water. He couldn't muster any strength in his body and couldn't breathe.
He felt so uncomfortable. His heart, which had not rested all night and was full of fear, began to ache and seemed to want to go on strike.
At this moment, Arnold suddenly felt warm all over, and the pain in his heart miraculously recovered, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
Looking up at Bai, his gaze finally fixed on Bai's hand held by Nan Qi, Arnold couldn't help laughing.
The feeling just now was not an illusion. He could still stand here because Nan Qi was here.
Nan Qi was holding Bai's hand and stroking the back of Bai's hand, pulling Bai out of the strange feeling just now.
Now the look in Bai's eyes when he looked at him was still cold, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Nan Qi was gentle and affectionate.
Great, these two words suddenly popped up in Arnold's mind.
