Chapter 170: Unnecessary Dangers of Approaching the Truth? You? ...
Hoover Walker left the secret room and immediately informed the insect responsible for maintaining the main brain and main system to enter the palace.
The insect responsible for maintaining the main brain and main system looks very young, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. Even when kneeling on the ground, his back is straight. He exudes the calm and rigorous yet somewhat noble aura of a scientific researcher.
"Ailair, I need you to design a program that will cause the main brain and main system to fall into a deep sleep or chaos at a specific time."
Hoover Walker sat behind the desk. His expression was unclear in the shadows cast by the lamplight. All that could be heard was his venomous, savage voice: "I don't want to hear any rejection. You should know that the main brain and main system have such a serious problem, and you didn't notice it in time... If you don't want all the bugs in the maintenance center to die with you, then do as I say!"
Ailaier, the insect in charge, lowered his eyes, a hint of disdain flashing in his gray-blue eyes, but he opened his mouth respectfully: "As you command, Your Majesty."
Ailai's submissive attitude slightly pleased Hoover Walker, who was out of control because the main brain was out of control. He chuckled twice, stood up and walked to Ailai, and helped Ailai up in a friendly manner without changing his expression.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to bow when you come to see me?" Hoover Walker patted Ailaier on the shoulder, his voice softening. "I know the Mastermind has gained intelligence. If it's trying to hide it, it's normal that you can't discover it. But what exactly is the Mastermind? Others don't know, but every head of your Reid family knows it."
"I understand." Ailaier continued to answer respectfully.
"I understand. Therefore, we must curb the Mastermind. Otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for you and me." Hoover Walker turned and looked toward the secret room, his eyes dark and sinister. "Power that can be controlled is a tool. What cannot be controlled must be contained and destroyed. I hope you understand."
Elaire replied respectfully again, "I understand. I will work hard to develop a program to put the main brain's intelligence to sleep."
"I don't want you to work hard, I want you to figure it out. And—" Hoover Walker turned around and clamped Eller's neck, forcing him to look up. "The program must not only put the main brain to sleep, but also have the function of causing confusion. I have the final say on when this confusion is activated. Do you understand?"
With his neck clamped tightly, Ailair had difficulty breathing and instinctively grabbed Hoover Walker's wrist and tried to pry it open.
He didn't know if he had lost all his strength from being pinched, or if Hoover Walker was just too strong, but he couldn't move his hands at all and could only utter two words with difficulty: "I understand."
Hoover Walker finally let him go and looked indifferently at the coughing and breathless Ailaier who fell to the ground. He took the handkerchief from the maid and wiped his hands slowly. "Very good. I hate things that I can't control the most. I hope you don't go astray."
Due to lack of oxygen, Ailaier's face was pale with a hint of blue, and his voice was hoarse. "I will follow your Majesty's instructions."
"Boring." Seeing him like this, Hoover Walker lost interest in continuing to teach him a lesson. He waved his hand and let Ailer go down.
After Ailaier staggered out of his study, Hoover Ike drove out all the female servants and sat alone in the chair behind the large desk, staring at his hands in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly burst into laughter, clenched his fists, and felt a strength unlike any before. He muttered, "Why didn't I use it earlier? This feeling of power is simply too good to be true."
As he spoke, he seemed to recall something, his frantic expression twisting into a twisted form. "Are you going to betray me too? Don't forget how much honor our royal family has bestowed upon you. Without us, you would have long since rotted and stank where you were. How dare you disobey us in secret? This time, I'll make you completely mine!"
"And Bai, I'll see how you can escape from my grasp this time. SSS-level Xiong Chu, right? You'll be mine after all, let's wait and see."
Boom——
Suddenly, a thunder was heard in the distant sky. In the dead of winter, the thunder did not bring rain, but a rare blizzard.
The central star protected by the shield is covered with snow, but the night is too deep and the snow is too pure, covering up many sins that are about to happen, leaving only the prosperous and decadent life.
*
A storm suddenly arose on the stationed planet outside the Kron galaxy. Nan Qi got up before six o'clock. The wind was howling outside the window, but it was warm as spring inside the high-quality tent.
He got up from the bed and held down Bai, who was about to get up. He kissed Bai's forehead and said in a low, raspy voice, "Sleep a little longer. It's still early. The storm has started outside. The thieves won't be making any moves today. Don't worry."
Hearing Nan Qi's comfort, Bai rubbed Nan Qi's hand that was touching his face in a daze, closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
After washing up, Nan Qi stood by the window and looked out. The strong wind blew snow down from the sky. From a distance, the sky and the earth were the same color, and it was impossible to tell the direction.
After stretching, Nan Qi walked into the kitchen and began to make breakfast in an orderly manner.
Breakfast was simple. I made porridge, heated up the leftover buns from yesterday, and made Murphy's favorite braised pork and Bai's favorite dessert.
It took only an hour to finish all this.
Nan Qi returned to the room and looked at Bai who was sleeping soundly, with a smile on his face.
Last night when he was taking a shower, he deliberately released his mental power to attract Bai's mental power to entangle and merge with his own.
Although they didn't finish the physical process, they did kiss and hug each other, so Bai would definitely be "tired", but mentally he would be extremely relaxed and naturally have a perfect rest.
Bai had been on edge for the past two months, barely getting enough rest. He knew this was normal during a military campaign, but it still pained him. This was a multinational operation, with more than just Bai in command. He didn't need to be so exhausted.
After packing up the braised pork, buns and porridge, Nan Qi didn't wake Bai up. He put on a thick fur coat and went out with the lunch box.
As soon as he went out, the blizzard was like a knife scraping at his face. Nan Qi rubbed his face and said: "The blizzards in this era are even more severe than those in the last life."
Nan Qi released his mental power, forming a barrier around him to resist the wind and snow, and then he walked towards the command center again.
This planet does not have a protective shield like inhabited planets to reduce the intensity of wind and snow. In the strong wind and snow, visibility is extremely low. Except for the soldiers patrolling on time, no living creatures would wander around at this time.
Nan Qi seemed to be the only color in the vast world, and also the only god.
He walked slowly like that, and it seemed as if a huge shadow was following behind him. Behind the shadow, there were shadowy figures waving countless giant vine-like things to protect the sound of his progress. No matter how fierce the wind and snow were, they could not touch him at all.
This was the scene Murphy saw. His heart suddenly shook violently for no reason, and a shudder ran up his spine to his brain, making him afraid to breathe.
Murphy suddenly lowered his head and took two deep breaths. He looked again, only to find that the figure had disappeared.
At the same time, Murphy was shocked when he heard a report from his personal guards behind him that a male insect who claimed to be the Lord Commander-in-Chief of Smellide was looking for him.
So fast!
Murphy's pupils trembled, and a voice in his heart told him - Nan Qi is dangerous, extremely dangerous! Stay away!
But when he saw Nan Qi holding a huge food box and having a gentle and handsome face, the voice in his heart weakened.
This strange contradiction made Murphy feel a little breathless for a moment, but he still looked calm and invited Nan Qi in with a smile.
"The wind is blowing nicely today. Not only does it allow us to rest, it also brought Brother Nan Qi here."
As Nan Qi entered the door, warmth hit him.
Nan Qi ignored the curious, surprised, malicious, or contemptuous looks directed at him and smiled generously and politely: "Brother Murphy, I'm here to bring you food and ask for leave for Bai. He's been too tired recently and has a fever."
Nan Qi's considerate look actually weakened the strange and contradictory dangerous aura around him. Murphy felt a little relieved at the return of the familiar Nan Qi, but he didn't dare to relax too much.
"Oh, is it serious? Nothing will happen today. Let him have a good rest. He hasn't had a rest in so many days." Murphy took the lunch box from Nan Qi's hand. The aroma of braised pork wafted out of it. He had been hungry all night, and his stomach growled when he smelled the aroma.
Murphy wasn't embarrassed. He opened his lunch box, took out a bun and stuffed it into his mouth. He said vaguely, "It's snowing heavily in this wind. Just let Brother Bai tell me through the terminal. You came here in person. You must be in trouble..."
Before he even uttered the word "snow", Murphy suddenly realized that there was no snow on Nan Qi's body, and his heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly became tense again.
Nan Qi seemed not to feel Murphy's nervousness and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's not difficult to walk. Bai taught me how to use mental power before. It was my first time using it, and it worked quite well."
"Really? Then when Brother Bai gets better, I'll have to ask him for advice." Murphy smiled and thought that he must ask Bai when he had this ability when he had the chance. He didn't think that the feeling he had just now was an illusion.
The idea went around in his mind, and Murphy said with a smile: "Brother Nan Qi, your craftsmanship is really amazing. I am so lucky, brother. Do you want me to take you around the headquarters?"
Nan Qi shook his head: "I won't go around the confidential department. Bai is still sleeping. I'm going back first. Brother Murphy can take the lunch box back when he has time."
Murphy: "Okay, then I won't keep you either, brother. I'll send my personal soldiers to take you back."
"No need." Nan Qi refused Murphy's offer to send him off, stood up and left, disappearing in the vast snow and wind.
After Nan Qi left, the guards came up and asked, "General, are you concerned about this male insect?"
"You noticed?" Murphy narrowed his eyes slightly, "Don't you think there's something wrong with him?"
The guard thought for a moment and shook his head: "Except for being particularly good-looking, I don't see any difference."
Murphy slapped the back of the soldier's head with his big hand and said in a crisp voice: "You're just eating your IQ! Haven't you seen other male insects? Do they have his physique and aura? And didn't you notice that there's not a single snowflake on his body? Can you do that?"
The personal guard bared his teeth and said, "...I can't do it."
Murphy snorted, "I can't do that either. I thought he was special before, but today he made me feel dangerous, extremely dangerous."
"Then should we still cooperate with him?" asked the personal guard.
Murphy was silent for a moment, then sighed, "There's nothing else we can do right now. They're the only ones who have more complete information. Cheer up, at least he doesn't have any ill intentions towards us right now."
Otherwise, there is no need to expose his abilities and make them wary. Although Nan Qi did not say it explicitly, it is equivalent to showing his cards to them, and he cannot be too petty.
I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation. Looking at the direction where Nan Qi disappeared, Murphy breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message to Bai through the terminal, telling him to have a good rest and not to worry about anything.
"Alright, Nanqi brought a lot of food, so you can eat too. We'll wait for the Rock Tribe representative, Kunba, to arrive and give us some instructions, and then we can go back and rest." Murphy stuffed a mouthful of braised pork and cursed, "These bastard thieves haven't been quiet all night. I'm exhausted."
Seeing that their general was enjoying the meal, the personal guards did not hesitate and soon all the things Nan Qi brought were eaten up by them.
On the other side, Nan Qi returned to the tent that belonged to him and Bai, walked into the bedroom, and found Bai still sleeping on the bed.
Nan Qi frowned slightly. With Bai's physique, even if he was tired last night, he should be awake by now.
Are you really sick?
Nan Qi reached out worriedly to touch Bai's forehead, but was suddenly pulled onto the bed by a hand that reached out from under the covers.
Then, Nan Qi was pressed down by a warm body. A furry head rubbed against his chest, and a voice with a smile rang out: "Do I look good in pretending?"
Nan Qi hugged Bai who was lying on his chest, and lowered his voice unconsciously: "Like, when did you wake up?"
"You woke up not long after you left." Bai listened to Nan Qi's heartbeat and felt relieved. "You asked for leave for me."
"Brother Murphy told you?"
"Well, he sent me a message. It's stormy outside today, and a cosmic storm will arrive in two hours. I still have to go check if the camp's defenses are activated. I'll be back once the cosmic storm stops."
"Okay, I won't stop you. Do you want to get up and have breakfast? I made your favorite little cake."
Bai responded without moving, looking lazy.
Nan Qi laughed, hugged Bai, and sat up directly with the force of his waist. He patted him and said, "I'll carry you to wash up."
Bai still didn't move, and Nan Qi understood that this was his agreement. It was so rare to see Bai playing tricks like this, and Nan Qi was very fond of him.
He picked her up, held her white butt like a child, and walked towards the bathroom, patting her twice as he walked.
Bai felt a little embarrassed when being photographed, and buried his face in Nan Qi's neck, pretending to be dead.
He didn't know if it was because of the interaction of mental power last night, but today he particularly didn't want to leave Nan Qi. Just smelling the scent of Nan Qi made him feel particularly at ease.
Bai entrusted himself to Nan Qi without any worries. He really enjoyed Nan Qi treating him like a child. After washing up, he did not get out of bed, but was carried to the restaurant by Nan Qi.
In fact, after washing up, Bai was completely awake and wanted to walk on his own. Nan Qi rejected his application on the grounds that he was not wearing shoes. Bai then enjoyed the treatment of a child again and was carried to the restaurant by Nan Qi.
After the meal, Nan Qi finally agreed to walk in white shoes.
Before going out, Nan Qi asked Bai for two kisses, and watched Bai go to work in high spirits with a smile.
Only after Bai completely walked out of his sight did the smile on Nan Qi's face fade.
Back in the living room, Nan Qi took out the pendant containing his own blood sample and looked at it for a long time, until the extremely destructive cosmic storm arrived on time. Nan Qi got up, put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out, disappearing in the wind, snow, sand and stones, and the whirlpools that appeared from time to time.
In the command center, Kunba looked at the turbulent vortex outside that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and took a deep breath.
They had seen cosmic storms before, but this was the first time they had encountered one so closely.
This scene is spectacular and mysterious, but also very dangerous. If the camp had not activated the space distortion protection, everything built on this planet would be instantly torn apart by the turbulence and sucked into the vortex.
Even so, they didn't dare to walk around outside at will, because if the protective device had a bug for even a second, they would die.
Lenk thought so too. He was taking a break today and staying in his tent to sort out documents.
The wind outside was howling like a wild beast, and Lenk couldn't calm down at all.
His thoughts drifted back to last night, when he and Melon came out of Bai's place and he asked what Melon and Bai were talking about during dinner.
Mellon did not hide anything from him and told him everything that happened to Nan Qi during the meal.
Mellon: "You and I both know that Nan Qi's eyes are usually black, but when possessed by a spirit, they are the same emerald green as the spirit. He can change the color of his eyes and hair, but his eyes have never been so..."
Mellon sighed and finally used the words weird and dangerous to describe it.
It's weird. The color of the pupils is actually described as "weird and dangerous". Is it really describing the color of the pupils, or is it describing Nan Qi who has such pupils?
Could this be related to the help Nan Qi asked him to help with?
Lunke's mind was a little confused. He threw down the document he couldn't concentrate on reading, stood up, picked up the cup and prepared to pour himself a glass of water.
At this moment, the tightly locked door slammed open, and the wind and snow rushed in, and the unread documents were blown all over the sky by the strong wind.
Lunk subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the wind and snow disappeared, the door was closed tightly, and even the documents flying in the air were properly placed on the desk. Only the figure standing in front of him made him realize that everything that had just happened was not an illusion.
"Nan Qi!" Lun Ke was shocked and frightened. "Are you crazy? There are turbulent currents and space vortexes outside. If you go out at this time, you might die."
Nan Qi felt warm in his heart. After being in this world for such a long time, he unknowingly found not only a soulmate but also good friends who cared about him.
All of this was brought to him by Bai, so he would not allow any object or intelligent life to pose a threat to Bai, including himself.
"Don't worry, my innate ability is related to space, and this storm can't do anything to me." Nan Qi walked to the sofa and sat down, pointing to the side opposite him, "Sit down and tell me, don't you want to know what I want to talk to you about?"
Lun Ke looked at Nan Qi, who had become the host, speechlessly, and walked over to sit down opposite him: "I'm not a fool. You came to me at this time and wanted my help. You don't want to know for nothing, do you?"
"Yeah." Nan Qi said, taking out the space pendant and placing it on the coffee table. "I need you to help me send this thing out to the nearest resource supply planet. There will be bugs coming to pick it up."
Lunke didn't say anything, and his eyes became increasingly sharp as he looked at Nan Qi.
Nan Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, the things in here belong to me alone. They are not intelligence. The bug who came to take the things was sent by Prince Keppel. If you don't believe me, you can ask him for confirmation after you send the things out."
"If that's the case, why not let Bai know?" Lunke didn't believe it.
"Not only can Bai not know about this, but you can't even look at the things inside." Nan Qi leaned back on the sofa, a deep green light flashing in his eyes. "I can only tell you that this thing must be sent out to avoid some unnecessary - danger."
"Unnecessary danger? You?" Lun Ke stared at Nan Qi. "You said that Dong□□ belongs to you, and you said that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you have clearly told me that you are the danger."
"Nan Qi, we've known each other for so long. You're Bai's partner, and we treat you as a friend and family member. If there's real danger, I don't think Bai would want you to exclude him, and neither would we." Lunke's voice was a little heavy. "If I weren't in charge of logistics, wouldn't you have come to me?"
Renk's words left Bai speechless. The truth was indeed as Renk had said. If Renk hadn't been in charge of logistics and the only officer with legitimate access to the base, he wouldn't have let any of Bai's connections know about this.
It wasn't that he was afraid that Bai would worry about him, nor that he wanted to exclude Bai, but the matter was still unresolved and Bai was already very tired. There was no better way even if he knew.
Moreover, the fewer people who knew about this, the better. There were too many "ears" in the Allied Forces, and the consequences of accidentally leaking the news were unpredictable, so it was better not to tell anyone.
He thought about asking Number Seven to control the little robot bug to help, but Number Seven's position was unclear, and the relationship between them was complicated and confusing, so how could he feel at ease letting Number Seven help?
Not only was he worried, but even when Keppel contacted him through Number 7 yesterday, he was afraid that their conversation would be eavesdropped by Number 7.
In fact, he didn't want to ask Keppel for help yesterday because Keppel was straightforward. If he continued to hide, Keppel would definitely contact Bai, and then Bai would definitely know what he wanted to hide.
Bai is so smart.
So he took a gamble. If Number Seven hadn't eavesdropped, his plan would go smoothly. If it didn't go smoothly, he could still find out that Number Seven wasn't as private as he claimed, and that he had something to hide.
This way he can better understand No. 7's position, and then he will have an indicator as to whether to be on guard or to cooperate deeply.
Unfortunately, these words cannot be told to Lenk. If they must be kept secret, they must be kept secret to the end.
Thinking of this, Nan Qi said: "All of this is my guess. I will tell you when there is a result. I will not exclude you. But it is not possible now. I can only tell you this much. Do you want to help me or not?"
Lunke didn't expect that after he said so much, Nan Qi still looked unmoved, and he immediately lost his temper.
He closed his eyes for a long while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Help."
Nan Qi smiled and pushed the pendant in front of Lunke: "Then I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother Lunke."
Lunke: “…”
