Chapter 177 Little Butterfly Knows Everything
The next morning, after Bai finished Nan Qi's loving breakfast, he asked Nan Qi for a kiss and a big hug. Nan Qi patted Bai's heart, then put on a cold face and went out to "work".
Nan Qi's heart softened every time he saw Bai like this. Bai, who was a cold-faced warrior outside, smiled and acted like a spoiled child in front of him. This truly satisfied all of his vanity as Bai's partner.
With the corners of his lips raised, Nan Qi watched the white figure disappear around the corner.
The Kron system was in the depths of winter, and the complex terrain made the weather unpredictable. Yesterday, the sky was clear, but this morning, heavy snow was falling.
There are no protective shields here, so the snow is not pure white, but has an indescribable gray color and a burning smell, which makes the entire sky gray and extremely depressing.
After closing the door, Nan Qi returned to the warm bedroom and began to clean up. The computer he placed on the bedside table lit up.
Nan Qi paused, and after seeing who was calling, he felt relieved.
Sitting on the bed, he clicked the call button, and Prince Keppel's face appeared on the virtual screen in front of him. Nan Qi greeted him politely and carefully observed Keppel's facial expression.
To his surprise, although Keppel looked a little tired, he was in good spirits and even smiled.
Nan Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat doubting his own judgment.
"Your Highness seems to be in a good mood." Nan Qi asked a question that seemed unrelated to the topic.
Keppel heard the smile on his lips turn into a hearty laugh. He thought Nan Qi was so steady that he didn't care about anything. But he was still a young man, worried about the result, so he asked in a roundabout way.
With a teasing attitude, Keppel said, "Things have come to this point. There's no point in me being gloomy. I might as well relax a little, and it will also make you less nervous."
Nan Qi: “…”
He saw that Keppel was teasing him.
It seems that the result of what he asked Keppel to do was probably the same as he guessed.
With a low laugh, Nan Qi said, "Your Highness, please stop teasing me. It looks like the outcome is not good."
Keppel also suppressed his smile and nodded. "The blood test results are out. I went to the Fengshengheli Tower as you asked me to. I'm sure you know the answer yourself."
Nan Qi nodded. Keppel took a sip of his coffee and continued, "The main ingredient of the Promote02 drug was detected in your blood, and it's more active and stable. What does this mean? You're so smart, I don't need to explain it to you."
Nan Qi nodded: "Then...what about Fengshengheli Tower?"
As the Fengshenghelilou appeared, Keppel's expression became serious. He did not answer directly, but asked: "Are you safe here?"
Nan Qi understood and released a huge amount of mental power instantly. All living things were exposed by this huge brain wave.
After doing all this, Nan Qi looked at Keppel and said, "Your Highness, please speak."
Keppel took a deep breath and told Nan Qi the news he had heard in Fengshengheli Tower and the true relationship between Nan Qi and No. 7.

In the command room at the center of the stationed star, Murphy suddenly felt a chill, and his hair stood on end, as if someone was peeping at him.
But when he felt it carefully, there was nothing.
Murphy touched his head, his face full of confusion. "Did you feel it wrong? Brother Bai, you felt...eh? Brother Bai, why do you look so grim? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go back and rest? The thieves shouldn't be making any moves today."
Bai exhaled heavily, forcing himself to calm down. There was an imperceptible tremor in his extremely low voice: "Thank you, Brother Murphy. I do feel a little unwell. I'll be heading back first. Contact me if you need anything."
After saying this, Bai didn't waste any time and started walking away. He was so fast that he almost bumped into a Rock Clan soldier who came in to deliver documents.
This behavior, which was different from Bai's usual behavior, instantly ignited the atmosphere in the command room.
"What's going on?"
"Yes, I've never seen the commander-in-chief act like this before. Even when facing the legion of experimental subjects, the commander-in-chief was able to handle it with ease."
"Are you really that uncomfortable? Do you want to call a military doctor to take a look?"
"Yes, you should. Look at the commander's face just now, it's even paler than paper. Maybe he was injured when fighting the experimental subjects some time ago, and they're worried that the morale of the troops will be unstable, so we don't know about it?"
"It's possible. I'll notify the military doctor to check on the commander-in-chief."
"Since the commander-in-chief didn't mention it, it must be fine. Should we ask for his opinion first?"
Murphy stood in the chaotic noise, stroking his chin and looking in the direction where Bai disappeared.
After a few seconds, he seemed to understand something and roared, "Everyone, be quiet. The commander-in-chief is fine. No one should disturb him."
Some creatures retorted: "But..."
"No buts!" Murphy's sharp gaze swept over. "Did you hear me? The commander-in-chief is fine. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility. Everyone here is a witness, so don't worry that I have ulterior motives."
All living creatures did not dare to say anything. Although the human race appeared in the public eye late, its technology is extremely advanced and its national strength is powerful. Besides, it is no secret that General Murphy has a good relationship with the commander-in-chief. If others are not worried, what should they worry about?
After laughing, all the living creatures turned around and went about their own business.
Seeing that everyone was obedient, Murphy sat in front of the center console and stared at the surveillance screen in a daze.
After a while, the guard leaned over and whispered, "General, do you want me to go take a look?"
Murphy shook his head: "Let's wait and see."
Not many things could make Bai change his expression. Even the possibility of Number Seven destroying the world didn't change Bai's expression at all. In Murphy's impression, the only person who could make Bai like this was Nan Qi.
Nan Qi gave him a strange feeling: dangerous yet kind.
The danger came from his keen sense of smell, acquired after surviving countless battles and near-death experiences. He felt kind, yet he didn't know how to explain it.
Murphy sighed, cleared his mind, turned around and called to his guards: "Go watch outside the commander-in-chief's tent. No living creatures are allowed to approach. Of course, don't get too close. Don't worry about the rest."
After the guards took the order and left, Murphy put his experience into the documents he had to review today.

When Bai returned to the tent, Nan Qi was humming a song while cleaning the living room. Seeing him come back, she showed a surprised expression: "Why are you back?"
Then, he saw Bai's pale face, his smile disappeared, and his brows were filled with worry: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Nan Qi stepped forward, took Bai's cold and slippery hand, supported Bai's waist, and took Bai to sit on the sofa.
He sat next to Bai, hugged Bai in his arms, put his forehead against Bai's, and was about to input his mental power, but was blocked by Bai.
"Bai?" Nan Qi looked at Bai in surprise, and saw that his face became even paler, but his eyes were bright and frightening.
Nan Qi didn't understand what was going on, so he reached out to touch Bai's face, but Bai grabbed his wrist with such force that even Nan Qi hissed.
The hoarse sound seemed to awaken Bai's sanity. He let go of Nan Qi's wrist like a tongue of fire licking his hand, and when Nan Qi's wrist fell, he quickly caught it.
Looking at the red marks he had pinched, he apologized incoherently: "I, I'm sorry, you, I didn't want this to happen, does it hurt?"
Nan Qi sighed, pulled Bai into his arms, and hugged him tightly: "Bai, calm down. Listen to me, I'm fine. With my physical condition, I will be well soon. You don't have to blame yourself, let alone apologize."
Bai: "But, but——"
"No buts!" Nan Qi interrupted forcefully, "There's no need to apologize or say thank you between us. Tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Bai raised his head from Nan Qi's arms. His dark pupils had long since turned back to their original ice-blue color, with a hint of water in the ice-blue.
"Bai..." Nan Qi was really panicked at this time.
Bai cried. He remembered that Bai had only cried once, and that was on the night when they were in tune with each other and went to Wushan together. Bai shed tears.
But those were tears of happiness, an expression of extreme emotional excitement. At this moment, Bai's tears were not tears of happiness, nor were they an expression of extreme emotional excitement, but rather an expression of extreme repression.
How could this happen? He was fine when I left this morning.
Wait, Nan Qi suddenly widened his eyes, and an impossible thought popped into his mind: "Bai, you... know?"
Bai Weiwei closed his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks. Without a word, he gently moved his hand, which was resting on Nan Qi's chest. A small, almost transparent blue butterfly flew out from his chest, lingering around them.
Nan Qi was shocked, his eyes and voice were a little sour: "You, you are worried about me."
Of course, Nan Qi didn't think that Bai released this little butterfly to monitor him, so there was only one reason left: Bai was worried about him.
He had merged with the divine power of □□ so many times that he had long been accustomed to the fact that you are in me and I am in you.
So when this small amount of mental power "parasitized" his body, he didn't feel anything at all, and when he released the mental power, he didn't notice the little butterfly.
Nan Qi's heart felt like a bottle of seasoning had been overturned, a mixture of sour, bitter, and painful, mixed with a sweetness that couldn't be offset. All five flavors converged on his tongue, temporarily softening his heart.
On the one hand, he was proud of Bai's increasingly excellent use of his mental power; on the other hand, he felt bitter that he had not noticed Bai's worry; on the other hand, he felt sweet for the care Bai had placed in him, but more importantly, he felt guilty for causing Bai's uneasiness due to his negligence.
Gently wiping away Bai's tears, Nan Qi sighed: "Don't cry, you've become a little kitten. Those things are not a big deal. In fact, you have guessed it, right?"
"But..." Bai couldn't continue. An indescribable feeling was stuck in his throat, making him unable to speak. He was afraid that once he opened his mouth, what came out would not be words, but his crying.
He was guessing again, but he could never have imagined that Nan Qi was the real independent consciousness of the main brain.
Nan Qi didn't know why he was separated from the main system and had a Zerg body, but strictly speaking, he was the real mastermind.
Now Number Seven is neither an enemy nor a friend. If they are not careful, he will become the boss of destruction. In order to avoid the destruction of the world, they must resist.
Then, will Nan Qi, the real mastermind, be implicated by Number 7 and get hurt?
